Farmers from across the country gathered in a field to discuss the latest environmental ideas.

Iford Estate, near Lewes, hosted a regenerative carbon farming day to show farmers how they can help the environment through modern farming practices.

The day, which also explored new ways of making money through futuristic farming methods, was hosted by managing director of Iford Estate, Ben Taylor. It was also organised by farming company Agreena with cooperative Fram Farmers.

Thomas Gent, a green farmer and market lead for Agreena said: "Regenerative farming can play a huge role as part of the solution to our climate crisis.

"By reducing the amount of land we plough and the amount of soil we disturb with farm cultivation machinery, the more we can reduce greenhouse gases and remove CO2 from the atmosphere."

Members of the outdoorsy conference had the chance to walk around fields in the Iford Estate, to see how they are implementing these farming practices.

At Ilford Hall, in the estate, there were displays around drills which are used for no-till farming and also mechanical seed crushers.
