A global community with a local footprint in the USA, UK, Australia and now New Zealand, Farmer’s Footprint is on a mission to accelerate regenerative food systems as a means to restore human and planetary health.

About the organiser
Through multiple agriculture projects we have been able to demonstrate in practice how the development of healthy soils can positively impact farm enterprises allowing them to become more sustainable and profitable.
Consumers are more aware than ever about the quality, the health of animals and the farming practices used to produce their food. And many are no longer comfortable with the industrial, commoditised approach of big business food production. Our approach is the antithesis of these damaging and extractive practices.
CEO, Dr Hugh Jellie has been working in this space for 20 years to bring greater sustainability and resilience to farmers and their communities.
