Our Ethos
In Britain, we’ve lost over 50% of our biodiversity in the last 50 years.
Today, farmland now accounts for 72% of the UK’s landmass. As such, modern agricultural practices are the largest contributor to the degradation of our once treasured natural environment.
Our own actions have brought us here, ignoring the environment and putting expedience before everything in farming. How long can we all let this happen?
Committing to a Better Way
Fortunately, there is a far better way. A new ethos that’s arisen from an old one.
At eatTelfit, we’re reimagining our food system, in an approach that embraces the natural systems that are fighting for a place in our human environment. We want a world where human beings are integrated with processes and patterns of nature rather than fighting against them.
The pinnacle of this is regenerative farming, but sustainable is a pretty good start. All our farmers and suppliers have taken on this mission: To fight back against this tragic loss of biodiversity, through sustainable and ecologically friendly practices.
Building farms into the natural environment and mimicking the timeless patterns found in nature. Farmers have re-learnt the ancient ways of working hand in hand with nature, not against it.
Slowly Creating a Better Future
We see regenerative agriculture as the pinnacle of this drive to save our planet from any more loss of biodiversity.
Through care for the soil, our most critical yet forgotten ecosystem, our farmers farm in ways that promote and even accelerate the natural processes we’ve ignored.
These methods carefully integrate biodiversity into the farm environment, setting off the natural cycles that enable nature to continually build on every step forward we take.
Diversity is nature’s greatest strength. Every species has a role to play. Including humans.
Supporting Small Farmers
We at eatTelfit work with a number of small mixed farms around Yorkshire. Many of our farmers are life long in the industry. Some moving towards this new way of farming for the first time.
For us good, nature friendly farming is the key to landscape recovery across the country. This public good is being inadequately funded to make this commercially viable without further support.
We provide a marketplace for the produce from these farms generating a premium for the farmer providing these invaluable benefits to the planet.
Please help us on our mission to convert and improve our nations food system into a form that can provide for both humans and nature.
