British farming is an industry in crisis. Farmers say they can’t afford to make ends meet, yet we rely on them to keep producing food. Historic pressures to maximise food production have left our soils degraded. Is there a way to help farmers profit while also strengthening the UK’s biodiversity?

Making sense of sustainable farming is hosted by Tortoise editor Jeevan Vasager and produced by Eleanor Biggs. The executive producer is Jasper Corbett. 

Making sense of sustainable farming is produced by Tortoise Media together with Lloyds Banking Group, who are the largest lender to agriculture in the UK, with over over 40,000 clients, providing significant funding to help businesses, including farms, transition to more sustainable practices.
