What is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative Agriculture is one of the majors you can study within a number of our degrees. It draws on the University’s specialist expertise in plant science, agronomy, ecology, agroforestry, environmental chemistry and socio-ecological systems. This study will help students find new ways to farm that will support natural processes and help our local farmers build more sustainable and resilient farms.
