Join Us for the Launching Landmatch England Event!
We’re excited to invite you to the official launch of Landmatch England — a new, non-profit landmatching service working to make more land available for agroecological food production across England.
Whether you’re a landseeker, a landowner, or simply curious about how better land access can unlock a fairer, more resilient food and farming system, this session will explain how the Landmatch England service works.
You should attend if you are…
- A landseeker looking for agroecological or nature-friendly farming/growing opportunities.
- A landowner interested in offering land for land seeking farmers and growers.
- An advisor, organisation or anyone exploring access to land solutions in England.
Through this launch session, you will learn what “landmatching” means in practice. On our agenda…
Our Story So Far
We’ll explain:
- Why improving access to land in England is so urgently needed.
- How Landmatch England has been developed, and which organisations have been working on it.
- Why we are working alongside the Pathways to Land programme to provide specific additional support to marginalised groups.
How our Service Works
We’ll give an overview of:
- How Landmatch England will support Landowners and Landseekers.
- Who can apply, and what additional support will be available in specific regions.
- How to use our website, sign up to the programme and benefit from our service.
A Landseeker’s Perspective: The benefits of landmatching
We are welcoming Holly Smith as a guest speaker to share why she is looking for land through Landmatch England.
Holly is an experienced land worker, surveyor and land agent with ten years of experience lambing large flocks and running a conservation grazing business. She is looking to expand her business from conservation grazing towards a meat and fibre flock, with a focus on land management.
A Landowner’s Perspective
We also welcome David Wolfe, from Wakelyns Farm, one of the oldest, most diverse, organic agroforestry sites in Western Europe now hosting rural businesses through ‘enterprise stacking’.
David will share why they have signed up as a landowner to the Landmatch England Service and what they hope to gain from being a part.
Q&A
Bring your practical questions about the service and what support is available, and we’ll share the next steps for the programme.
