Description

Team members of the SRP-funded Healthy Soils for a Green Recovery project are supporting a transition towards Regenerative Agriculture in Scotland. Working with leading experts, practitioners, and using data from SRP-funded projects such as Healthy Soils, team members led the writing of and contributed to an influential evidenced-based British Ecological Society report and a UK government POSTNote on Regenerative Agriculture. Primary impact was achieved through report outcomes being clearly reflected in the 2025 Scottish Government Code of Practice on Sustainable and Regenerative Agriculture. Additional impact was generated through invited presentations, for example, to the EU Climate Mission, RESAS, and Greenbank Investments; press coverage in over 400 media articles (sectoral and general); and radio and television interviews. Moreover, team members contributed to a CxC report on Understanding Metrics for Effective Environmental Measures under the Agricultural Reform Programme for Scotland that will enable trajectories of Regenerative Agriculture outcomes to be measured.
