Pasture for Life

July 2023-March 2025 

​

In my work for Pasture for Life I co-managed a programme of peer to peer knowledge exchange events and resources for farmers in the South Downs; managing the budget and reporting, alongside the administration of the programme activities. The aim was to be farmer-led, so we were in touch with farmers daily, ensuring the content of the programme reflected their needs. It was highly collaborative across the Pasture for Life team and with organisations in the local area.

​

During my time in this role, I was also working milking cows on a biodynamic farm. The combination of this work on the ground and my project management as part of the Pasture for Life community gave me knowledge and first hand experience of what it is to be farming in today's context and how regenerative principles are working in practice.  

 

Pasture for Life is an organisation that champions the restorative power of grazing animals on pasture. Managed well, they can bring restoration to our environment and our communities, while tending their own well being by grazing naturally.

 

The organisation brings together farmers, producers, academics and creatives through farmer-led events and knowledge exchange to build more resilience to environmental and economic changes.​​
