We\u2019re passionate about making a positive impact on the world around us. We champion the happiness of our communities, build trusted relationships based on integrity and doing what\u2019s right, and of course, taking responsibility for our environmental impact.<\/p>\n<p>Just one way in which we\u2019re bringing our purpose to life is through the work we\u2019re leading the way on for regenerative farming practices.<\/p>\n<h2>Farming for Nature Initiative<\/h2>\n<p>Last year, we launched our Farming for Nature programme, supporting over 2,000 British farmers to adopt more nature-friendly practices. It\u2019s part of our wider commitment to reach net zero across all UK farms by 2035.<\/p>\n<p>This work is about more than climate targets. It\u2019s about making sure our farms have the resilience, and the financial and logistical support, to thrive in the years ahead. This is because if we continue to farm in conventional ways, we may only have 40-50 harvests left in the soils we use across the world! It\u2019s this stark warning that drives our passion for regenerative farming. Because the truth is, the future of food depends on the health of our soils.<\/p>\n<p>For our customers, programmes like this also means peace of mind that every basket of shopping contributes to a food system that restores the natural world rather than depleting it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"b__video b__video--youtube l__space\" id=\"block-2-video\">\n\t<div class=\"l__container l__container--wide\">\n\t\t<div class=\"b__video--wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"b__video--tapestries\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/peach-we-all-own-it.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/light-orange-crosses.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/dark-orange-curved-lines.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/peach-arrows.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/light-orange-rotated-lines.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"b__tapestry b__tapestry--auto\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"200\" width=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/icons\/tapestries\/dark-orange-crosses.svg\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\"  >\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"c__btn c__btn--primary c__btn--play\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lord-icon\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/themes\/em-jlp\/assets\/images\/lordicon\/giasfzki.json\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttrigger=\"hover\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tstroke=\"bold\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcolors=\"primary:#003936,secondary:#003936\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width:38px;height:38px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\ttarget=\".c__btn\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/lord-icon>\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Watch: Farming for Nature<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<video id=\"video-block-2-video\" class=\"video-js vjs-default-skin\" controls width=\"640\" height=\"622\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-setup='{\"techOrder\": [\"youtube\"], \"sources\": [{\"type\": \"video\/youtube\", \"src\": \"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/watch?v=PKjAFdfZxpU&#038;t=105s\"}]}' poster=\"https:\/\/www.jlpjobs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screen-Shot-2025-10-31-at-09.46.25.png\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/video>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<section class=\"b__text__block l__space white\" id=\"block-3-text-block\">\n\t\t<div class=\"l__container\">\n\t\t<h2>How Regenerative Farming Works<\/h2>\n<p>At its heart, regenerative farming is about keeping soils alive, working with nature\u2019s cycles, and ensuring farming doesn\u2019t just sustain, but improves the land. Some of the ways we do this include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li>Minimising soil disturbance so the creatures that live in it can thrive.<\/li>\n<li>Growing a wide diversity of crops, which encourages insects and creates a more resilient ecosystem.<\/li>\n<li>Keeping soil covered and maintaining living roots, protecting its structure and feeding its microbial life.<\/li>\n<li>Integrating livestock, whose grazing and natural fertilising play a vital role in biodiversity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Leckford Estate<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best examples of where our Farming for Nature initiative is taking shape is at our very own Leckford Estate.<\/p>\n<p>The Leckford Estate is a unique asset owned by Waitrose, a 2,800 acre working farm and country estate in Hampshire.
