Ruth Wade is a Lecturer in Sustainable Agriculture at the University of Leeds, specialising in regenerative farming systems that support resilient food production while improving environmental outcomes. Her research examines how regenerative agriculture influences soil health, biodiversity, greenhouse gas emissions, water quality, productivity, and farm profitability, with a particular focus on applying ecological principles to sustainable farming. Ruth combines field-scale experiments, on-farm trials, and stakeholder engagement to generate practical evidence for farmers, industry, and policymakers.
