Agricology is about restoring soils, using fewer chemicals, tackling climate change and replenishing wildlife and natural habitats. Our focus is on building a more diverse, more resilient system that restores the land, from the ground up, and ensures a secure supply of food. We want to create a better, fairer food and farming system that works with nature to produce healthier crops, higher welfare animals and nutritious food for all.
What is Agricology?
Agricology is network whose purpose is to share practical information on sustainable approaches with farmers and growers. It is a free platform, open to everyone. The project was set up in 2015 and is run in partnership with the The Daylesford Foundation, Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust Allerton Project, and the Organic Research Centre. Our founding three organisations have now grown to more than forty on the steering group, with contributions to the project from over 120 institutions, a digital audience of 150,000 and a quarter of a million views on our YouTube videos.

Agricology was set up in response to increasing challenges of declining soil fertility, climate change, declining biodiersity and the need to rethink the way we tend the land. Agricology supports farmers and growers to transition to more resilient, diverse sustainable farming systems. We bring together research from the field and farmer experiences on using practices that restore the farm ecosystem. These include reducing tillage to improve soil quality, planting 'cover crops', adding pollinator strips or using 'trap crops' which divert pests from crops instead of using chemicals, using agroforestry systems
