The Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) Allerton Project is hosting an event in Leicestershire to present the results of 5 years of research into the effects of ley type, ley management, ley duration and post-ley tillage on soil, weeds and crops. The event will take place at the Visitors Centre at Loddington on 7th July 2023 and tickets are £24 which include lunch.
The Allerton Project, established by the GWCT in 1991, has been researching sustainable farming methods, biodiversity, habitat creation and rural landscape management for over 30 years. It combines a modern, productive farm with a full-time research team and has advised farmers and influenced policy since its inception.
The Project researches the effects of different farming methods on wildlife and the environment, sharing results of its research through advisory and educational activities. It also identifies management that delivers multiple benefits for the rural landscape, covering natural capital accounting, agri-environment schemes and regenerative farming systems.
Dr. Conor O’Gorman, GWCT Head of Research, said: “We are delighted to be hosting this event to present the results from our 5 years of research. The Allerton Project has a long history of producing data-driven research to inform agricultural policies, and we hope this event will be a great opportunity for people to learn more about our work.”
