Co-founder, Planton Farm and Roots to Regeneration
—
Having worked across the full spectrum of the agri-food world for more than 20 years, Clare is a practising regenerative farmer with a wealth of experience in farm transition, and at policy and corporate level. She’s developed Planton Farm in Shropshire into a model regenerative farm offering workshops, mentoring and the Roots to Regeneration Transition Accelerator programme.
Putting deep care and consideration into helping people find their own path to regeneration, Clare has pooled her knowledge, experience and extensive network to support farmers unearth what regeneration means to them – having also worked with large-scale businesses such as Arla and Ikea, and contributing successes to several other farming projects in her previous role as Regenerative Agriculture Director at FAI Farms.
Clare is a director for New Foundation Farms – a regenerative agri-food enterprise prioritising health of soil, nature, communities and people. Between farm management, education, advisory work, and raising her two children with husband, Rupert, Clare is also a regular speaker at food and farming summits and conferences including Oxford Real Farming Conference and Groundswell.
