  • In a special episode of the FarmED Podcast, recorded at the Oxford Real Farming Conference, earlier this month, Ian interviews Patrick Holden, and Patrick interviews Ian, looking back over nearly fifty years of organic, regenerative and epigenetic farming! Patrick is the founder & CEO of the Sustainable Food Trust, whose mission is to work internationally to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable food and farming systems. He was Director of the Soil Association from 1995-2010 and has a mixed organic dairy holding in Wales. In 2005 he received a CBE for services to organic farming and in 2022 was awarded an honorary doctorate for international work in sustainable agriculture from the University of Wales Trinity St David.
    FarmED is the new Centre for Farming and Food Education based at Honeydale Farm in the Cotswolds.
    Our mission is to accelerate the transition towards regenerative farming and sustainable food systems by providing space and opportunity for inspirational education, innovative research, practitioner-led knowledge exchange events and personal development.
    The farm is a diverse mix of low input arable and temporary grass, and organic permanent pasture. Our trial plots include blocks of sainfoin, herbal ley, barley, heritage wheat, wild bird seed and various cover crops. The grassland is managed by mob grazed sheep.
    At the heart of FarmED are two impressive eco-buildings - one providing space for conferences, lectures, workshops and special events; and the other a farm to fork kitchen and food space, and a regenerative business incubator.
    Our audience includes local communities, schools, universities, researchers, farmers, new entrants, foodies, businesses, environmental groups and policy makers.
