My Work
Lifetime of environmental projects
Regenerative Agronomy
Now
I have over 10 years of experience working in the agronomy service sector which has given me a deep insight into the agronomy business. I'm now embarking on a new business that has the principles of regenerative agriculture at the core with excellent customer service and independent thinking that cares for the customer and the environment.
My experience and skills are helping 'high-input' growers transit to more regenerative farming principles.

MuckSmart
2011
A project that I set up with funding from the Environment Agency and working with groups of dairy farmers to look at on-farm methods to improve nutrient efficiency. Workshops and demonstration days looked at dairy diet, slurry storage, nutrient management planning and manure applications. It engaged with 100's of dairy farmers helping them understand nutrient management and save money on nutrient inputs.
