Supporting a Permaculture Agroforestry Project in Yorkshire: Field and Feral

Smart Manufacturing Solutions Technology Ltd is proud to be supporting an inspiring permaculture

agroforestry project in Yorkshire called Field and Feral. This innovative project is transforming land into a thriving, productive ecosystem that supports nature, strengthens local biodiversity, and provides food for the community.

Field and Feral is being developed as a permaculture agroforestry site, where trees, crops, and wildlife coexist in a carefully designed environment. Importantly, half of all food grown on the site will be donated to local food banks in Yorkshire, helping address food insecurity while restoring the land.

A permaculture agroforestry project in Yorkshire focused on people and nature

This permaculture agroforestry project in Yorkshire is not just about sustainable food production. It is about long-term environmental regeneration. By combining permaculture principles with agroforestry design, Field and Feral is creating a resilient system where soil health, biodiversity, and food production support each other naturally.

Nature is being actively installed across the site, laying the foundations for a healthier ecosystem that can thrive for generations to come.

Planting fruit trees, woodland, and flower meadows

Over the coming months, Smart Manufacturing Solutions Technology Ltd will be committing to planting across the site, including:

• Fruit trees that will produce thousands of fruits over their lifespan

• Fruit bushes to increase local food supply

• Native woodland trees to support wildlife and soil health

• Flower meadows, designed to encourage pollinators

These plantings are central to building a successful agroforestry system in Yorkshire that benefits both people and the environment.

Supporting sustainable food production and Yorkshire food banks

A key aim of this sustainable farming project in Yorkshire is community impact. Thousands of fruits grown through this permaculture agroforestry project will be donated to local food banks, helping support families and individuals across the region.

This model shows how environmental projects can also play a direct role in supporting local communities and improving access to fresh, nutritious food.

Biodiversity, rewilding, and the return of wildlife

Trail cameras have been installed across the site to monitor wildlife activity and track the return of nature as the land regenerates. These cameras will capture how biodiversity develops over time, including the arrival of new species as habitats are restored.

We look forward to sharing updates and snippets from the site in the coming months as this biodiversity and rewilding project in Yorkshire continues to grow.

Supporting a beehive to protect pollinators

We are also delighted to be supporting a beehive on-site. Bees are essential to healthy ecosystems and sustainable food production. The beehive, alongside the new flower meadows, will help strengthen pollination across the permaculture agroforestry site and support wider biodiversity in Yorkshire.

Watch the Field and Feral project in action

We will be adding a video to this page that introduces the Field and Feral project and shows the site at the beginning of its transformation. The video offers insight into the vision behind this permaculture agroforestry project in Yorkshire and how it aims to benefit both nature and the local community.

We encourage you to watch the video to see how this exciting environmental project is taking shape.
