The ECIU warned that the effects of the dry summer could continue with farmers facing higher feed costs as winter forage is used earlier than planned.

[upbeat music] Hi, my name is Rebecca Audsley.

I'm a principal consultant and environmental team leader with SAC Consulting.

My article looks at how regenerative agriculture supports farm soils.

We've been hearing the term regenerative agriculture or regen ag for short a lot more lately.

Although the concept has been around for a while, there's been a steady and widening interest in regen ag principles and the potential benefits this approach could offer, whether that is in terms of soil health at field level or taking a much wider view in terms of the contribution to sustainability and cutting emissions across a product supply chain.

With increasing flooding risk and water scarcity impacting both crop yields, livestock production, and farm infrastructure, our changing climate is also driving the need to take action with a healthy and protected soil providing some buffer against these severe weather challenges.

And Rebecca, how active was Farming for a Better Climate and where did it operate across the country?

Yeah, we were really busy.

So we worked with a number of climate change focus farms across Scotland.

So these were volunteer farms.

farmers who volunteered to work with us over a three-year period.

They were happy to open their doors and open their books to some extent to discussion groups and visiting farmers to learn more about what they did.

We covered quite a wide span.

And Rebecca, so looking back at the meetings that you had as part of the initiative, do you have a favourite meeting or most impactful piece of advice that you've given?
