At our heart, Land App is about connectivity – of landscapes, habitats and our users. As we move toward thinking at the landscape scale, and conversations develop about a land use framework, understanding land use in a coordinated, holistic and scaled way is critical for increased resilience, food production and nature recovery.
Each month, the team at Defra send us their updates, and we’ll share the top picks which we believe are important and helpful for you, our community of Land App users, here on the blog.
Last week, the Land App team were lucky enough to visit Knepp Estate – the rewilding project pioneering a new approach to land management. Here, we dive into what makes Knepp so impressive, what took the Land App team by surprise, and why the future of land management is one of optimism and excitement.

Whilst Organic has strict criteria that need to be met, regenerative farming is often represented as a set of principles that improve a farm’s impact on ecosystems.

The evolution of Countryside Stewardship as a policy has seen significant changes, reflecting the UK government’s commitment to promoting environmentally sustainable farming practices while adapting to feedback and evolving priorities.
What is Countryside Stewardship? Of the many agri-environment schemes, Countryside Stewardship (CS) is perhaps the most well-known.
