To echo what Caitlin McCormack said, great to see such a practical set of tools and guidance around the transition from industrial to regenerative systems. 👇🏼
Regenerative dairy farming can be a more profitable business model for UK farmers, while supporting nature and climate goals. Through our great partnership with NatWest Group, we have developed a series of reports and tools to accelerate the transition to regenerative dairy in the UK. 𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗦 – Our latest research on UK dairy farms transitioning from industrial to regenerative systems shows that, in many cases, regenerative farms are more: 1. Profitable than they were prior to transitioning, as they have lower costs and retain more of their revenues. 2. Resilient business and respond better to price shocks (fuel, fertilizer, milk), as they rely less on expensive inputs and can access additional revenue streams. 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗧 – Farmers across the country are already doing it! We developed five case studies of farmers who either are transitioning or have transitioned to a regenerative system. The case studies capture the actions that the farmers adopted, the reasons for adopting them, and their outcomes. 𝗡𝗘𝗫𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗣𝗦 – However, it is evident that the risks and costs of the transition affect farmers disproportionately, especially in the short-term, and there are currently insufficient incentives to enable the sector to transition at scale. The costs and risks of the transition need to be distributed equitably and efficiently across the supply chain: retailers, processors, farmers, banks, insurance providers, consumers, and government. 𝗚𝗨𝗜𝗗𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 – If this is all too complex or abstract, we have developed a guide for practitioners and relationship managers, which outlines different actions that could be part of their transition and their impact on cash flow, nature, and climate. We have published a series of reports on regenerative dairy: • 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁: https://lnkd.in/dwRvjQjc • 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀: https://lnkd.in/dWKhRijE • 𝗚𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀: https://lnkd.in/dmxWtzz3 • T𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻: https://lnkd.in/d-QDqN9Z
