Groundswell is an agricultural festival focused on regenerative farming, it's a place for likeminded members of the farming community to come together, share learnings and connect.
The event provides a forum for farmers, and anyone interested in food production or the environment to learn about the theory and practical applications of Regenerative Agriculture, including no-till, cover crops and re-introducing livestock into the arable rotation, with a view to improving soil health.
The Duchy of Cornwall’s team were delighted to join the two-day event to engage with talks, forums and discussions from leading international soil health experts, experienced arable and livestock farmers, agricultural policy experts, direct-drill demonstrations and AgTech innovators.
In its 9th year, the sell-out regenerative agriculture event included over 400 speakers from around the world, including the ‘grandfather’ of regen ag, North Dakotan farmer, Gabe Brown. Ahead of Gabe Brown’s headliner speech, HRH The Prince of Wales dropped in to share a few inspiring words with the farming community and spoke with tenants and future partners.
The festival ties closely with the ongoing work of the Duchy’s tenant farmers, to explore innovative ways of farming on the road to net zero, to work with nature, not against it.
