Wales Master Regen

*The Application window for Master Regen has closed!*

Farming Connect is excited to announce a new workshop – MasterRegen 

Regenerative agriculture is guided by principles, not adhering to a set of standards. It’s a proactive, whole system approach and cannot be achieved simply by adopting regenerative practices within an existing conventional farming system. Getting it right requires new knowledge and a change of mindset. This workshop is aimed at individuals at the beginning of their journey with regenerative farming principles.

If you are interested in exploring routes to start your regenerative farming journey, please complete the application form below by 20/01/2023, for an opportunity to attend the MasterRegen workshop. 

Completing the application form is compulsory and will be used to select successful candidates. 

Date: 1/2/2023

Time: 9:30-17:00
