The role of trees in regenerative farming

At Regenerate Outcomes we believe that trees can play a role in a farm’s transition to regenerative production. 

Trees have the ability to improve soil health and provide shelter and browse for livestock, with deep roots to reduce nutrient loss and mitigate flood risk. There is also the opportunity to create additional revenue through the sale of environmental outcomes and Regenerate Outcomes are able to quantify and sell carbon credits generated from agroforestry within the same methodology we use for measuring soil carbon.

We believe that farmland should remain in food production, which is why we are helping farmers deliver environmental goods by building healthy soils and integrating suitable numbers of trees alongside productive farming. It’s about using trees as a part of a regenerative system to build resilient farms while increasing biodiversity and other environmental benefits.

Regenerate Outcomes are sponsoring the inaugural Agroforestry Show, on September 6 and September 7, at Eastbrook Farm, Wiltshire. 

The event will bring together those working in farming and forestry to bridge the gap in knowledge, support and skills for the good of everyone involved.

September 7 will include a panel discussion involving our Chief Scientific Officer Matt Jordon, alongside Kyle Richardville from our mentoring partner Understanding Ag and Essex agroecological farmer George Young.

There is a huge opportunity for farmers and those who work with trees to work together towards sustainable food production. We’re proud to be sponsoring the Agroforestry Show to help make this opportunity a reality.
