Getting more from the soil by putting in less?

Limiting physical and chemical disturbance to the soil is recognised as a core principle of regenerative agriculture. But what are the effects of minimising cultivations and inputs on soil health, structure and carbon as well as crop productivity?

Join us at Allerton for the last ClieNFarms event for presentations on this topic. We'll be joined by Jonathan Storkey, from Rothamsted Research, who will discuss Rothamsted's Large Scale Rotation Experiments (LSREs) as well as the longest running experiment in the world - Broadbalk, which is testing the effects of different organic manures and inorganic fertilisers on wheat. We will also be joined by Hannah Cooper from the University of Nottingham, who will be discussing her research into reduced cultivations and the associated effects on soil carbon.
