Perennial Protein: How UK Nut Farming Is Healing Land And Communities

The future of nutrient-rich food is a hotly debated topic, but no one can argue against highly biodiverse agroforestry that feeds both the soil and our bodies. Nuts are small but mighty — packed with protein, healthy fats, minerals, and antioxidants that deliver powerful health benefits. UK nut farming may still be a relatively small sector, but it’s growing fast, with pioneers like Andrew Kent from Glastonbury Nut Farm and Tom McVeigh leading the charge. This session will explore how perennial protein from nut farming can heal the land, bring communities together, improve health outcomes, and what the market looks like going forward.
