Circular farming systems within a mixed enterprise business

Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:17:50 GMT

Join us at Sir Richard Sutton Limited Estates in Lincolnshire for discussions around how a circular farming system can strengthen resilience, improve efficiency, and unlock greater value within a mixed farming business.

We'll explore how better integration between enterprises can turn resources and by-products into opportunities, reduce reliance on external inputs, and give farmers greater control over costs and performance.

Attendees will discover how circular approaches can help businesses make the most of what they already have, add value within the farm gate, and build resilience in the face of market volatility and rising input costs.

Key learning outcomes

Understand how circular farming can improve business resilience
Identify opportunities to add value and make better use of farm resources
Explore ways to reduce input reliance and manage costs
Gain practical ideas to improve profitability and long-term sustainability

Matthew Addison, the farm manager, will be speaking at the event.

BASIS points are available for attending this event and lunch is included.

Please bring suitable footwear and clothing for a farm tour of the Rectory Farm yard and cattle buildings.
