#Groundswell was a phenomenal opportunity to learn and to assess the approaches to UK regenerative agriculture.

From policy to knowledge exchange, it is clear that we need to develop bigger ideas, wider conversations and better stories. The passion we see at Groundswell is a great place to start.

Spent a really interesting morning with Ruth Wade and our @bioscienceleeds.bsky.social MSc students examing differences between soil farmed conventionally and using #RegenAg. Some really obvious changes after 2y under herbal ley.

📢We are now inviting labs that are able to host the successful candidate of the 2025 BiPS Summer Studentship to share the projects that they are working on so that we can match the student with the lab. Supported by @ThePlantJournal

Enjoyed a couple of hours of work today in our Plant Growth Suite. I don't get soil on my hands very often anymore, but I still love it!

Putting the final touches to tomorrow's talk at Skills@Leeds. Looking forward to what should be an interesting day!

Beautiful skies - wish I'd had my proper camera. The Llyn Peninsula is a magical place.

This time last week at #wodland I was feeling very tired after a 6k fell run carrying an actual tree. Kept getting distracted by the #Forestry and #agroforestry but it was a beautiful morning!

The last few days of summer before heading back to work. Wales is always beautiful but the sunshine helps!
