The Goodwood Health Summit, presented by Randox Health, is returning for its third year on Thursday 2 October 2025. The Summit will bring together world-leading experts to debate topics and trends that can lead towards a healthier future for all. Building on the work from previous years, this year’s summit will focus on the intricated relationships between soil and human microbiomes.
The Goodwood Health Summit, presented by Randox Health, on Thursday 2 October 2025, will be live streamed for the public from Goodwood Estate in West Sussex. General admission £10, tickets available via Eventbrite.
Global authorities and changemakers from the worlds of science, policy, medicine, food production and manufacturing will gather at Goodwood House for the summit. Chaired by Professor Chris van Tullekan, confirmed speakers for the event include Mr James Kinross, Patrick Holden CBE, Dan Kittredge and Dr Federica Amati. Stephanie Moore, Goodwood’s resident gut health expert, will also join the panel as a featured speaker.
Summit Themes
- The Soil-Human Microbiome Connection: How biodiversity in soil influences the human gut
- Regenerative Agriculture as Preventive Medicine: Farming practices that promote long-term health
- Personalised Nutrition and Public Health: Translating microbiome science into everyday eating
- Food Policy and System Change: What’s needed to align agriculture, health, and environmental sustainability
Online viewers will have an exclusive opportunity to engage in a series of insightful discussions exploring the soil microbiome and the human microbiome. Attendees will also be invited to participate in a live Q&A session with leading experts in the field. Designed with a strong emphasis on education and meaningful dialogue, the Summit aims to empower participants with practical knowledge and actionable strategies. Guests will leave with clear, tangible tips on how they can support both soil and human microbiome health through adjusting lifestyle habits.
With healthy soil integral to growing nutrient-rich food, supporting a diverse human microbiome and reducing chronic disease risks, microbial diversity is essential in soil for crop resilience and carbon capture, as well as human health for immunity and disease prevention. By raising awareness about the critical importance of soil health and its impact on human health, the world can better understand how the two ecosystems influence each other, and how this can affect overall health.
The Goodwood Health Summit will continue to raise awareness, foster education and promote research on the impact of microbial communities in line with the Goodwood Estate’s long-standing commitment to soil health and sustainability through organic and regenerative farming techniques and its farm-to-fork philosophy. With a sustainability strategy that covers all aspects of the Estate, (having held ISO 20121 certification for over 10 years), the Goodwood Health Summit is a continuation of this entrenched historical pledge.
Goodwood’s partners at Randox Health said: “We’re excited to present the Goodwood Health Summit, working towards a shared goal of improving gut health and highlighting the fundamental role the gut plays in our overall wellbeing. More than ever, people are looking to understand their bodies better and take control of their health. But with busy schedules and endless to-do lists, it’s easy to let health slide. That’s where we come in. At Randox Health, we make staying on top of your health simple and accessible. Our personalised, preventative health checks give you clear insights into your current health, future risks, and key areas like gut health—helping you make informed choices for a healthier future.”

Notes to Editors
Goodwood Estate
Embodying true British heritage and hospitality, the Goodwood Estate has a long history of environmental stewardship, while also offering idyllic health and wellness retreats at The Goodwood Hotel and Health Club.
Goodwood Home Farm is one of the largest lowland organic farms in Europe, covering 3,400 acres, and is dedicated to sustainable and environmentally sensitive farming practices.
One of the only self-sustaining farms in Europe, it has been yielding top organic meat and dairy for centuries. From award-winning cheeses and butchery to locally brewed beer and gin, as well as nutrient dense raw milk, the estate’s rich heritage and generational skill is reflected in its produce. The Goodwood Farm Shop embodies the estate’s authentic, locally sourced, sustainable growth philosophy through its unrivalled produce.
Susan, Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, was a true pioneer in organic farming, and was one of the trailblazers of Britain’s organic movement, a passion she shared with her daughter-in-law, the present Duchess of Richmond and Gordon. Working closely with the estate’s Home Farm team, they transformed Goodwood into a model of progressive farming. As one of the Soil Association's earliest members, her passion for sustainable practices and the food we eat continues to shape Goodwood today.
As well as its commitment to sustainable farming, Goodwood is also famous for its incredible Health and Wellbeing Programmes. The Goodwood Hotel, together with The Goodwood Health Club, offers a range of restorative and fitness facilities as well as tailored retreats. Governed by both old philosophies and new technologies, it utilises the transformative power of nature across its expansive 11,000 acres.
