Why potatoes?
Potatoes are one of the world’s most important staple crops — but aligning potato production with regenerative agriculture is tough. Yet pioneering farmers are proving it’s possible, with benefits for soil health, stable yields, and lower carbon emissions.
In this webinar, we went behind the scenes with real farmers in our programme to share farm-level data, success stories, and lessons learned. The goal: to demonstrate that transitioning potato systems to regenerative models is not just possible — it’s already happening.
What you’ll learn from this session:
- Real data from regenerative potato farms in France, the UK, and Belgium
- Practice changes making a measurable difference
- Benchmark data: carbon, water, biodiversity, and more
- What sets top-performing farms apart — and what support they need
Who is this for?
This session was designed for potato processors, sustainability managers, agri-food decision-makers, and agriculture teams looking to:
- Reduce CO₂ emissions while growing their business
- Align sustainability targets with financial performance
- Explore proven pathways for scaling regenerative agriculture in potatoes
