Webinar: How to secure milling wheat with Regen Ag?

Why Wheat?

‍Wheat sits at the heart of many food systems — and securing high-quality milling wheat production within regenerative agriculture is one of the most pressing challenges farmers face today. The standards for protein content and yield are strict, but not impossible to meet — and pioneering farmers across Europe are proving just that, with measurable benefits for soil health, resilient yields, and lower carbon emissions.

In this webinar, we went behind the scenes with real farmers in our programme to share farm-level data, success stories, and lessons learned. The goal: to demonstrate that transitioning wheat systems to regenerative models is not just possible — it's already happening, even in the face of rising fertilizer costs and growing climate volatility.

‍

What you'll learn from this session:

• Real data from regenerative wheat farms in France, the UK, and Belgium
• Practice changes making a measurable difference while maintaining milling quality and protein levels
• Benchmark data: carbon sequestration, pesticide reduction, soil health metrics, and input cost savings
• What sets top-performing farms apart — and how they save time, money, and emissions without losing yield

Who is this for?This session was designed for millers, bakers, grain traders, sustainability managers, agri-food decision-makers, and agriculture teams looking to:

• Reduce CO₂ emissions while securing a reliable, high-quality wheat supply
• Align sustainability targets with farm-level financial performance
• Explore proven pathways for scaling regenerative agriculture in wheat systems

Q&A with the audience

‍

Q : Can you give indicative nitrogen quantities that cover crops can contribute in a wheat rotation?

A: Around ~20–30 units of N per ton of dry matter; with 6 tons DM and 50%+ legumes, expect 20–40 units available for the crop, more in autumn than spring

Q: Did you measure water retention capacity in regenerative agriculture soil?

A: At Soil Capital we calculate water retention capacity and derived indicators as part of their Beyond Carbon framework (32 outcomes across domains)

Q: What does 2.5 tCO2e/ha mean in % emission reduction? Is there any recognized methodology to calculate and claim this reduction?

A: The hybrid DNDC + Cool Farm Tool methodology; reductions are measured against regional baselines and aligned with GHG Protocol and SBTi standards
