Intelligent Farming (Paperback)

A practical and thought-provoking guide to making regenerative change happen in farming and land management.

Intelligent Farming is both a call to action and a practical guide for anyone who knows that change in land management is urgently needed and wants to understand how to make it happen. Drawing on real-world experience, Tim Parton explains not only why regenerative change matters, but also how to navigate it successfully in the field and in the mind.

Unlike many books on agriculture and sustainable farming, this one goes beyond technical solutions to explore the human side of transformation. It addresses the mental and psychological aspects of change and change management, helping readers understand the barriers, decisions, and mindset shifts involved in moving toward more resilient and regenerative ways of working the land.

• Explains why change in land management is essential for a more resilient and regenerative future
• Provides practical strategies drawn from real-world experience to help make change happen
• Addresses the mental side of transformation with insight into the psychology of change and change management
• Supports a wide professional audience including farmers, land managers, advisors, conservationists, and policy makers
• Combines insight, strategy, and inspiration for readers committed to shaping a sustainable future

At 246 pages, this book is designed for people working directly with land as well as those influencing how it is managed. Whether you are improving farming systems, advising others, shaping policy, or working in conservation, Intelligent Farming offers a grounded, practical framework for regenerative agriculture and long-term change.

Clear-eyed, encouraging, and action-oriented, this is a timely resource for readers who want to move beyond theory and take part in building a more sustainable future through intelligent farming and thoughtful land stewardship.
