Rewilding – regenerative farming’s unexpected ally?

The regenagri podcast explores the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture, with industry experts. In episode 11, Harry Farnsworth, sustainable agriculture projects lead at Control Union UK, looks into how regenerative farming and rewilding can work together to unlock natural capital. He is joined by Ivan de Klee, regenerative land management consultant and conservationist on Knepp Estate in West Sussex. Ivan has previously worked in Kenya, India, Australia and South Sudan, so brings insight into how farms all over the world can work with natural processes. At Knepp, Ivan leads on all rewilding and natural capital opportunities on the 3,500 acre estate. He is also leading on the Weald to Waves nature corridor from Ashdown Forest to the Climping Gap. He also facilitates the Upper Adur Farmers group, which is made up a cluster of farms in the Low Weald who are adopting more regenerative and wildlife friendly farming systems.
