You can see highlights of the 2024 gathering here and the inaugural event in 2023 here.

A report on GO Falkland 2024 – based on feedback from attendees, speakers and sponsors – is also available to read.

GO Falkland brings together vital voices and hands-on practitioners in the fields of Regenerative Farming, Forestry and Food. The gathering aims to generate engagement and positive actions of people and organisations across Regenerative Land Use in Scotland. Led by farmers and those who work the land, we are here to co-design and collaborate on creating a healthier and fairer future for Scotland’s land use and food system.

GO Falkland 2023 was inspired by the original Groundswell festival and continued to be supported by the Cherry family in 2024, developing independently with its own specific flavour and focus on the Scottish context.

Key speakers in 2024 included: Groundswell founders Joanna Bowen and John Cherry, Dan Kittredge from the Bionutrient Institute, soil health educator Joel Williams, Abi Mordin (Propagate) and Doug Christie from Durie Farms. The full 2024 programme is available to view here.

We were fortunate to have the support of a range of sponsors and partners including: James Hutton Institute; The Agricultural and Horticultural Development Board; Pasture for Life; the Rare Breeds Survival Trust; NHS Fife; The Soil Association; The Woodland Trust; Scottish Forestry and Fife Council.
