Members of the Farming APPG made a group visit to Groundswell regenerative farming festival on Wednesday 2 July. 

Now in its ninth year, the family-run event near Stevenage attracts thousands of farmers and people with an interest in growing healthy food in way that regenerates the soil and wider natural environment.

The group took in a wide range of talks, panels and demonstrations, on topics ranging from fairer supply chains to the land use framework. They also had conversations with organisations and businesses including Pasture for Life, Soil Association, Nature Friendly Farming Network, Affinity Water, and Yeo Valley, and policy experts such as Henry Dimbleby. This helped the members learn about some of the progressive solutions to the challenges farmers and rural communities in their constituencies are facing.
