Are you growing the UK’s most nutritious wheat?
Calling organic, ‘regenerative’ and other wheat growers.
The Centre for Food Policy at City St George's, University of London, and Rothamsted Research are looking for organic and other regenerative wheat growers to take part in a research project.
Farmers are invited to submit a 150g sample from this year’s wheat harvest. Each sample will be tested for micronutrients and antioxidants, and the results will be shared with participating growers. Samples will also be entered into a competition to find the most nutritious wheat analysed.
How to participate
- Complete this short online survey
- You will receive a stamped, addressed envelope
- Use the envelope to send your wheat sample for analysis
More information
The study will compare the nutritional output of wheat grown by agroecological and ‘conventional’ farming methods. The researchers are now particularly seeking samples from organic and other ‘regenerative’ farms.
You can fund further information in the participant information guidance on the City St. George’s website.
The project is led by James Aufenast, a PhD researcher at the Centre for Food Policy and Rothamsted Research.
If you have any questions, please email James.
