Balancing food production and the ecosystem

What can you do on your farm to improve the ecosystem while maintaining productivity?

From soil health to net zero, our resources can help you make your business more productive and profitable, while providing public goods like affordable food, carbon removals and nature recovery.

Visit our environment hub for guidance and information that will help you improve the ecosystem while running a profitable business.

As part of our Roots to Resilience programme and to explore some key topics in more detail, we caught up with Jason Rowntree, Professor of Animal Science at Michigan State University (MSU) and Director of their Center for Regenerative Agriculture.

We discussed food production and the ecosystem, soil carbon storage, food production and environmental sustainability and harnessing the soil's carbon power. 

Listen to our podcast featuring Katie Evans, AHDB National Specialist for Grass, Forage and Soil, and Jason Rowntree as they discuss how we can improve ecosystems while maintaining productivity on farm.
