COLLECTION: Regenerative arable transitions
In this case study on regenerative arable transitions, we take a look under the hood of two Canterbury arable farmers who are increasing the health, resilience and profitability of their farm systems.
David Birkett and Nigel Greenwood have been on this journey for many years and the performance of their farms is a result of many years of building soil health, adapting farm machinery and growing their knowledge and experience of working with biological systems. They are examples of what is possible to achieve when farmers commit to long term systems change focused on building soil health, but the transition requires patience and commitment.
