LENs Company Ltd has announced the launch of Trade 2025 for LENs England, opening the door to significant funding opportunities for regenerative farming and nature-based solutions in Yorkshire and the East of England.

Running until 3rd March 2025, LENs England’s Trade 2025 opens for applications in the New Year for participating supply-chain partners.

Crucially, the Trade also includes newly updated technical guidance from LENs (Landscape Enterprise Networks).

The new guidance not only helps to enable funding opportunities, but ensures a laser-focus on outcomes and increases support for farmers on their journey from conventional to regenerative farming practices.

Isabel Ross, Principal Consultant at LENs, said:

“With successful LENs England projects well underway in Yorkshire and the East of England, LENs projects have already proved highly effective at building business partnerships for resilient landscapes. So I’m delighted to announce the launch of LENs England’s Trade 2025 this week to supply-chain partners.

“Over the past year, the LENs team has been busy working with funding partners, supply aggregators and farmers to ensure Trade 2025 is optimised to focus on outcomes for demand-side partners and to enable an even greater focus on impact.

“As well as opening the door to increased funding for regenerative farmers, Trade 2025 represents a significant opportunity to improve the health, resilience and productivity of our landscapes.”

The benefits of LENs projects

In October, LENs Company Ltd announced the beginning of a new phase of rapid scaling for Landscape Enterprise Networks, with the programme already helping to boost the health and resilience of landscapes across the UK and Europe.

Founded by sustainability consultancy 3Keel, LENs brings together businesses, public bodies, NGOs, farmers and land managers to finance and implement initiatives that ensure the landscapes in their region thrive and continue to meet the needs of businesses, land enterprises, communities and nature.

Some of the most significant outcomes of LENs measures include mitigating flood risk, promoting soil health, creating habitats for pollinators, boosting biodiversity and increasing soil carbon.

LENs England’s Trade 2025 opens for applications in the New Year for participating supply-chain partners and will run until 3rd March 2025.
