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.

The full programme is available to view here!!!

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

Key speakers include: 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. Further information on speakers is available here.
