Carbon Calling CIC was incorporated to benefit all livestock farmers in the UK to help them develop their systems to ensure they are profitable, environmentally aware and improving well-being. The company aims to empower farmers by improving their skills and knowledge of regenerative practices. The company is entitled to exemption from Audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 and members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime. There are signed by Director, Dr Elizabeth Genever. During the period the company engaged in several activities, - The directors organised and delivered a Carbon Calling conference for 300 attendees over three days, with engagement from 12 sponsors. The content was specifically designed for farmers and advisers who are interested in regenerative and agroecological systems, the conference facilitated networking and knowledge exchange between farmers and advisers. - Two evening meetings delivered to over 100 attendees with engagement from 3 sponsors. The meetings provided in-depth conversations about how farmers can transform their business into more regenerative systems, empowering them to work through the problem with other group members. - Ten podcasts published, which have been downloaded over 2,000 times, showcasing excellent practitioners of regenerative systems, highlighting farmers and advisers to connect with or visit. In January 2025, the company was successful in obtaining a funding offer from the Esmee Fairburn Foundation. The funding will support a two-year project with engagement of a parttime development manager role. The key expected outcomes of the project are, - Empower more farmers to transition to nature friendly farming. - Develop an understanding of what evidence needs to be generated to help others challenge their current system and engage with more nature friendly farming techniques. - Develop a thriving community, increase the network and encourage them to engage with others.
The company stakeholders are farmers, environmental policy makers, consultants and advisers operating in regenerative and agroecological practices. Following the conference, the directors circulated a feedback form to the delegates to gather information on what they found useful and suggested areas for improvements. Examples of feedback received are: “The organisation and by extension participation was really welcoming and non-judgemental with a good spread of start-ups and experts. The Nic and Liz style of keeping it awkward brave and kind is a real draw to very positive energy. And Tim and Emma were superstars!” “Thank you for all the effort you make on putting the conference together, you are helping facilitate a space for good constructive debate and inspiring people to make a much needed change” “Massive thank you for such a great couple of days. I really got a huge amount from it, and it was such a friendly event. I know a lot of effort went into organising it. It's the best and most useful event I've been to in a really long time, and has left me with lots of contacts and leads to follow up on. It was such a cheering weekend!” “It would be interesting to explore market gardening/horticulture in the north of England, the specifics of plant nutrition, business viability, supply and demand etc that are relevant to the challenges of the region” As a result of this feedback the conference has been moved to June and mid-week. The format of the conference has also been altered, so attendees feel less time pressured, and topics have been widened to include supply chain, more food products and wider range of speakers.
