Finding land for growing local food, nature restoration and carbon capture is a huge challenge. The Apricot Centre has been given an opportunity to trial an innovative approach, with a tenancy on land owned by the local Exeter Diocese. The Centre has already demonstrated the benefits of biodynamic and agroecological farming for carbon sequestration and energy-efficient, human-scale farming on its own land; in turn, this new tenancy will help the Diocese to reduce the carbon footprint of its properties. This workshop explores how the model is being trialled, and the terms required for such tenancies to be successfully rolled out with other large landowners.
