Regenerative approaches to land management are becoming more popular amongst farmers in the UK. For some, these are familiar practices, though for others it represents a new way of approaching land management and an uphill learning curve.
Last week, our Director of Growth, Dan Geerah, hosted an excellent panel discussion with leading industry experts to discuss Countryside Stewardship, the new ELMs schemes and the ins and outs of the agricultural transition.
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.
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. As Basic Payment Scheme funding continues to decline, and the new Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs) gain more traction, farmers and land managers must stay abreast of schemes that not only benefit their land’s finances but also contribute …
We’re proud to announce the launch of our partnership with UKHab LTD, helping to improve the quality of digital habitat mapping across the land sector. By teaming up, we’re making habitat mapping swift and reliable for everyone – whether you’re working on baselines, habitat banking, natural capital portfolios, Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), or more…
Albanwise Environment, the Environment team of the 10,500 hectare Albanwise Wallace Estates, are in the process of using Land App to help understand their natural capital baseline, potential for Biodiversity Net Gain and their role in Landscape Recovery. Recently, we caught up with Director Mike Edwards, and Angus Wells, Woodland and Technical Manager, to discuss how Land App supports their environmental projects. From spatial planning and strategising land use at the landscape scale, to instantly calculating a “Best-Guess UKHab Baseline ” across all 10,500 hectares, here’s how Albanwise are taking their land management to the next level…
This week we caught up with Harriet Bell, Head of Regenerative Farming at Riverford, who explains how they use Land App to map supply chains and monitor nature-friendly farming, reducing environmental impact from plant to plate.
This case study explores the valuable role played by geospatial data in landscape recovery and the trading of ecosystem services and how it both streamlines projects, acts as a cost saving tool and promotes accuracy. We outline our work as official mapping partners with the sector-leading Wendling Beck Environment Project.
In our latest Thought Leadership piece, our Communications Lead analyses the findings of the newly released report into land use in England, and discusses the consequences of the Geospatial Commission’s findings.
