Insights from arable farming in drought conditions in Europe
LENs seminar from Groundswell 2026 now available on demand on YouTube
22 July 2026
On the first day of Groundswell, the UK regenerative agriculture festival, LENs ran a session with our partner in Europe, Preferred by Nature. Chantal Brown hosted agronomy experts, Attila Kökeny from Hungary and Hubert Filipiak from Poland, and Hungarian farmer, Tamás Szabó.
Unpredictable weather and severe droughts are no longer exclusive to mainland Europe, they are transforming UK agriculture. How can English farmers prepare? In this timely talk, the panel shared practical lessons from Hungary and Poland, where farmers successfully grow crops with under 600mm of annual rain and extreme heat. Discover how to build a resilient “soil carbon sponge” that captures every millimetre of moisture using no-till technology, advanced cover cropping, organic manures and soil micro-biology.
