Groundswell is an annual two-day festival of regenerative agriculture that takes place every June on a farm in Hertfordshire. Its a gathering of change in food and farming where farmers, conservationists, ecologists, chefs, agriculture industry representatives as well as financiers and MPs gather, speak and collaborate ideas about how we can transform food and farming into a more planet friendly agro-ecological future.

This year we decided to film a mini series of friends, movers and shapers of the regenerative movement who are all in one place at one time.
Co-founder and Collaborative CEO Mark Drewell conducted interviews for New Foundation Farms with a selection of chosen guests.
