Nicola Renison farms with her husband Reno in Cumbria, Northern England. The daughter of dairy farmers, Nic grew up within the conventional, high production ag environment, growing food with little thought of the environment, ‘it just wasn’t on our radar’. It wasn’t until in 2012 when the Renison’s started farming their own land they started to think more regeneratively, this wasn’t because they wanted to save the world it was because they needed to pay the bills! The last ten years have been a journey of both practical ‘re-learning’ and a total change in mindset, they now farm 80 beef cattle who are 100% grass fed, with laying hens following the cows around in an ‘egg mobile’, also a handful of woodland pigs. No artificial fertilisers and sprays have been used for seven years, this along with extended rest periods for the grasslands, planting of hedges and tree the farm’s eco-system is well and truly thriving. Nicola and Reno are also founding members of ‘Carbon Calling’ a regenerative farming conference in the North of England.

David R. Montgomery is a MacArthur Fellow and professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington. He studies landscape evolution and the effects of geological processes on ecological systems and human societies, and is an award-winning author of popular-science books that have been translated into ten languages. In Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations (2007) he documented the effects of soil loss and degradation on past societies. In Growing a Revolution Bringing Our Soil Back to Life (2017) he showed how regenerative farming practices can build soil health as a consequence of intensive farming. His latest book What Your Food Ate: How to Health Our Land and Reclaim Our Health (2022) co-authored with his wife, biologist Anne Biklé, examines connections between soil health and the health of crops, animals, and people.
