Farming on protected sites such as SSSIs can be subject to many restrictions. Yet only 38% of SSSIs are in favourable condition. Our panel will share their experience of using regenerative farming to sustain farming incomes, enhance the environment and help meet the UK’s 30by30 commitment, on in-hand farms and working with farming tenants. We will also discuss whether the ‘designation’ model for protection is fit for purpose, and how it could be improved.
