International speakers are part of this summer’s Groundswell – The Regenerative Agriculture Festival – which will take place on Wednesday 2 and Thursday 3 July at Lannock Farm, Hertfordshire.
Gabe Brown, one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement, and owner and operator of Brown’s Ranch along with his wife Shelly, and son Paul, will deliver a series of headline sessions.
The Brown’s 6,000-acre ranch near Bismark, North Dakota showcases a remarkable diversity of crops and livestock, and it’s this integration which Gabe attributes to the regeneration of natural resources on the ranch.
Through innovative soil health practices, the family have created a thriving agricultural ecosystem and annually welcome over 2,000 visitors, leading to Gabe being named as one of the twenty-five most influential agri-leaders in the USA.
Jules Matthews, a New Zealand coach and educator in the agroecological domain. Applying regenerative practices to beef and sheep farming to reach optimum animal health and performance, Jules will share her learnings with the festival’s audience. “I’m feeling both excited and hopeful about participating at Groundswell.
“At a time when there is so much uncertainty, concern and dissonance in our world, I think it is vital we continue to come together to learn from one another and foster hope for a bright future. One that is made possible through connection and collaboration.”
Also confirmed as a speaker at the event is Didi Pershouse, author and workshop creator, with her curriculum from the Land and Leadership Initiative now being used in 95 countries, including in India, where over one million natural farmers in Andhra Pradesh have taken part in the deeply participatory workshop.
A timely appearance for author, podcast host, and founder of The Transition Network, Rob Hopkins, as his new book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future’ is released a few weeks before he presents at Groundswell.
