|The Country Smallholder
Farmers can now enter the 2025 Soil Farmer of the Year competition, which will celebrate leadership in soil management as a tool to support the overall resilience of farm businesses. Entries close 5th March, 2025
-
The competition, which is now in its 10th year, is run in partnership by Farm Carbon Toolkit and Innovation for Agriculture. It is free to enter and open to all farmers in the UK.
Becky Wilson, business development and technical director at Farm Carbon Toolkit, says the competition recognises the vital contribution of soil to food production and maintaining functional ecosystems.
"There's no getting away from the fact that 95% of global food production relies on soil, while 60% of all species on the planet can be found in soil2, making it, quite literally, the foundation to life," she says.
