An Introduction to Agroecology

An Introduction to Agroecology: This two day Landworkers Alliance (LWA) and FarmED event took place at FarmED and Conygree Farm, looking at the practice and principles of agroecology with peer-to-peer discussion and stories round the campfire. Jonty Brunyee from FarmED and Jyoti Fernandes from LWA talk about the importance of working with the natural environment to build a better and fairer food system with high welfare animals and healthy food that’s accessible to everyone. Thanks to European Coordination via Compensia (ECVA) for funding.






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.
