Grosvenor Farms, located on the Eaton Estate, Cheshire, hosted the UK’s leading regenerative livestock farming event ‘Down to Earth’, designed to educate the industry on transitioning to more sustainable practices.

The event, which took place at Grosvenor Farms’ award-winning Lea Manor Farm dairy in July 2024, was attended by more than 1,300 visitors and included renowned speakers, industry leaders and over 50 exhibitors.

Discussions on the day focused on practical approaches to reducing emissions, enhancing biodiversity, improving soil health, genetics and feed efficiency into the future.

Presenters from Grosvenor Farms included Mark Roach, Managing Director, who provided an overview of the business’s activities, its sustainability journey – including developing one of the lowest carbon footprints for milk production in the UK – and its ambition to become carbon net zero by 2030, as well as David Craven, Dairy Manager, and Charlie Steer, Arable Manager, who were part of a panel discussion on the importance of data and evidence- based insights.
