Cotswold Seeds was proud to sponsor the Oxford Real Farming Conference again in 2026. It's always a great way to start the year. 

Jed Soleiman, PhD soil scientist at FarmED and Soils Technical Lead and Knowledge Coordinator for The Centre for High Carbon Capture Cropping (CHCx3) gave a fascinating talk on ‘Assessing Soil Health Via Energy Flows At FarmED’. His research explores how measuring energy movement through soil ecosystems can help us better understand soil function, diversity and long-term resilience.

Drawing on early field trials at FarmED, Jed shared insights into regenerative arable rotations and the restorative potential of herbal leys.
