Designing Circular Systems That Regenerate Land and Strengthen Local Wellbeing
CSDI works with farm communities to design circular systems that regenerate land, reduce waste, and strengthen local wellbeing. With agriculture covering 70% of UK land and contributing around 10% of national greenhouse gas emissions, the shift toward circular and regenerative practices is both urgent and transformative. Each year, an estimated 3.3 million tonnes of food is lost or wasted on UK farms, highlighting the scale of opportunity for on-farm valorisation and closed-loop solutions. Through research, innovation, and community partnership, we support growers to reduce waste, restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and create inclusive green jobs—demonstrating how circular farming can power a more sustainable and equitable future.
Our Approaches & Strategies
Reduce Food Loss and Waste (FLW) at Farm Level
Conducting on-farm FLW assessments to identify hotspots, supporting farms to adopt valorisation and redistribution models, and developing simple tools to measure and track waste.
Build Closed-Loop Resource Systems
Designing nutrient-cycling systems and water re-use and recycling systems.
Regenerative Land & Soil Health Practices
Developing soil diagnostic tools and frameworks, and running awareness workshops with farms and communities demonstrating regenerative methods and related policies and regulations.
Innovation in Insect-Based & Nature-Positive Systems
Developing small-scale insect-based bioconversion units in farms for FLW valorisation, training farmers to use these systems, and partnering with universities and research centres for innovation trials.
Data, Skills & Knowledge Exchange
Creating simple digital tools for tracking waste, soil health, and resource flows; developing a knowledge hub with toolkits and case studies; and delivering training programmes for farmers, students, and community groups.
Green Jobs, Community Engagement & Inclusive Growth
Mapping green job pathways in circular agriculture and co-designing community-based farm projects that build skills, local resilience, and community learning sites for sustainability and wellbeing.
