Alex Gray is the quality lead for the land-based department at Brooksby Agricultural College in Leicestershire. Alex is a regenerative agricultural specialist, overseeing an array of sustainability and regeneration projects, aiming to prepare his students to be at the forefront of the industry while protecting the future through sustainable practices. Alex is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to ecosystems, natural history, wetland ecology, and land management.
Regenerative agriculture has become a soundbite that is rarely understood, so we'll be taking a deep dive into what that means, who it benefits, and how we can all play a part in improving the landscape that surrounds us. We'll be exploring areas such as sustainable woodland management, river restoration and enhancement, holistic mob-grazing, adaptive multipaddock grazing, agroforestry management, and farm diversification.
Now, if this seems a mouthful, fear not. We'll be breaking these down with Alex in this episode. Alex has been all over the world, most recently in North America, learning farming practices from big country farmers.
