Exploring Regenerative Farming Practices at Waitrose Farms | National Geographic

Paid content for @waitroseandpartners. National Geographic photographer Matthieu Paley, who cultivates his own food naturally in Portugal, travels to England to learn more about regenerative agriculture at Waitrose Farm on the Leckford Estate. As the only UK supermarket to own and operate its own farm, Waitrose uses its 2,800-acre estate to demonstrate the power of regenerative practices on a large scale. By restoring soil health below the surface, biodiversity thrives above ground, including the 54 beehives that call the estate home. The impact stretches straight from the soil to the plate for consumers like Elaine, an Oxfordshire artist who draws inspiration from the natural world to create her landscapes. From small gardens to sprawling farms, regenerative agriculture isn't just about crops, but rebuilding the living systems that food depends on.
