Summary

Duke Launches Regenerative Tenancy

Prince William, as Duke of Cornwall, inaugurated the Duchy’s first regenerative Farm Business Tenancy at Monkhall Farm.
The tenancy runs for 25 years, giving 25-year-old Harry Davies certainty to invest in soil health, biodiversity and infrastructure.
The Duchy will provide direct funding, practical advice and peer-to-peer learning through its Farming and Nature programme.
Regenified will supply a framework to assess farm condition, monitor progress and measure results of regenerative practices.
