The UK's top regenerative agriculture event for livestock producers is back this summer at one of the country's leading farming establishments.
Award-winning Grosvenor Farms in Cheshire will host RABDF's Down to Earth on Wednesday, 3rd July. Down to Earth is now in its third year and is designed to offer something for everyone interested in profitable farming and transitioning towards more environmentally acceptable systems.
Grosvenor Farms has been chosen as the host due to its ability to demonstrate first hand the intrinsic benefits of a whole-farm approach. They were the 2023 overall winner of the UK’s premier dairy industry awards – the Cream Awards – where they were recognised for reducing the carbon footprint of their activities, improving carbon sequestration and enhancing biodiversity.
Grosvenor Farms produces high-quality, nutritious milk and cereal grains, adopting sustainable practices that benefit animal welfare and enhance the environment. The farm consists of an arable and 2,600-cow dairy operation and is spread across 2,340 hectares, including 800 hectares of arable, 450 hectares of three-year grass leys on a multi-cut system and 350 hectares of maize. Approximately 12% of the land is managed to support greater biodiversity and improve natural habitats.
This year’s event promises to have something for everyone! Whether you’re new to this topic and just curious, or a farmer looking for practical take-home strategies to implement and enhance what you are already doing on your farm, through to those who want to follow a full regenerative journey, then Down to Earth is for you.
