About
Caroline
Roots of Nature is led by Caroline Grindrod — a regenerative agriculture consultant and systems thinker with nearly three decades in environmental land management.
She has trained farmers who between them manage over 500,000 acres, and works directly across more than 100,000 acres in active transition — from Highland estates to productive lowland farms. Rather than adding regenerative practices onto existing systems, her whole-system approach helps farmers and estates redesign their operations using living-systems principles — building capability that lasts long after the work ends.
Thinking
from the field
Caroline writes on regenerative agriculture as it is actually practised — the science, the systems, and the deeper shift in how we see land. White papers and essays.

George Henderson and The Farming Ladder
Two brothers, eighty-five acres of worn-out Cotswold ground and almost no capital. Twenty years later their accounts were so good Reading University checked them.

Drought Reserve Grazing: Same Rain, Two Droughts
Two neighbouring fields on the same geology had completely different summers. The difference arrived with the rain, not the drought.

We have had numerous opportunities to see Caroline’s work up close. She has an uncanny ability to discover the heart of an issue and then shape it into language that has impact. She has a solid understanding of holistic management and the Regen ag space. We highly recommend her.

Caroline has perhaps had as much influence on our farm as anyone in the past few years, through teaching us about soil and grassland management, and she deserves a sincere thanks.

Client voices
“For the first time, we were all working to the same plan. Over the last few years we’ve cut back on winter concentrates, which has saved us money and made us feel much more positive about where we’re heading.”
John, Glen Nevis Estate
“Purchasing 10,500 acres of land to develop a nature reserve was always going to be a huge undertaking. In Caroline we found someone with the technical skills we needed as well as the broader ecological, cultural and community understanding to help us navigate the changes.”
Angela Williams, The Langholm Initiative (Tarras Valley Nature Reserve)
Step into
the wilderness
Beneath the consultancy and the courses runs a longer inquiry: what it means to belong to a place, to think in living systems, to root deeply over time. Digital Wilderness is Caroline’s ten-year Rooting to Place journey — wander it, and pick your own path.
