According to Groundswell organisers, the Cherry family, Groundswell 2025 saw a 35% increase in regenerative farming visitors, with 10,000 going through the gates at Lannock Farm over the two days.
The ‘sell-out’ event included over 400 speakers from around the world, including the ‘grandfather’ of regen ag, North Dakotan farmer, Gabe Brown. Speaker content centred on principles of regenerative agriculture – minimising soil disturbance, keeping the soil surface covered, maintaining living roots, maximising crop diversity and re-introducing livestock to the farm.
Jabe said he was delighted to see so many want to take on the challenge. “When we regenerate soils, we regenerate people, communities and natural ecosystems. That’s the kind of thinking that we need to scale. When we go home and look in the mirror, we have to realise that challenge starts with each and every one of us. That’s the kind of thinking that we need to scale.”
Event director, Alex Cherry added: “It feels clear Regen Ag is now in the mainstream. Amid the many challenges facing the sector, Groundswell is a wonderfully positive atmosphere, and many people leave the event invigorated with a sense of optimism for the months to come.“
Groundswell 2026 will be held on 1-2 July.
