Very useful to have these initiatives all in one place. Regarding regenerative agriculture the big question is how can we encourage this more widely in our own area ? Maybe building the principles into any local climate action plan which might emerge could be a good start. It’s eye-opening to learn how much carbon is stored in the Soil !
