Farming For Nature 🌾
Our brand new programme to accelerate nature-friendly farming plans for our 2000+ British farmers 🚜
In a transition to regenerative farming, boosting financial and climate resilience, we’re committing to support our farmers with:
- development plans for our British farmers to access affordable finance
- provide a market for regeneratively produced food in Waitrose shops and online
- have a permanent Centre of Excellence at our Leckford farm and much more 💚
We’ll create frameworks and guidance with @leaf_farming from 8 farms testing methods over 3 years - letting farmers know what really works ✅
And alongside @uniofreading, backed by a @weareukri grant, we’ll establish a 3-year Knowledge Transfer Programme, giving farmers direct guidance on what to implement on their own farms 📋
We’ll be sharing progress and learnings as we go, and you can follow some of our @waitrosefarmers for a glimpse into their world along the way!
