The course has been has been developed to encompass thinking across conservation agriculture, agro-ecology, climate smart agriculture, carbon farming, technology use, and integrated management practices.<br/><br/>Particular emphasis is placed on the importance and relevance of soil health and the integration of livestock along with the practices. These include minimising soil disturbance, maintaining soil cover, reducing the use of pesticide and artificial fertilizer and using grass leys to build fertility providing food for soil improving livestock. Such farm level practices can contribute to global goals of building resilient local food chains, the provision of ecosystems services and mitigating the impact of climate change.<br/><br/>BSc (Hons) Agriculture (Regenerative Systems and Livestock) focuses on livestock while the BSc (Hons) Agriculture (Regenerative Systems) focuses on crop production, each recognising the importance of a holistic approach, which should include both in a circular structure.
