I am pleased to say that i am the proud new owner of an upland farm in wales. I do think it's a really exciting time to be in farming, under a huge stacles to overcome. When you change the way you farm to being based on the reinstating of natural systems,. You do take back control. And just bringing those three things together could be transformative for so many aspects of society. It is not easy, but i think we're in a moment of huge potential.
Back for a third series, Alannah Weston, Chairman of Selfridges Group, speaks to inspiring leaders driving transformational systems change to put sustainability at the heart of their businesses.
In this episode, Alannah is joined by Andy Cato, co-founder of Wildfarmed. Andy is a Grammy-nominated musician, one half of the incredible Groove Armada. In 2006, he read an article about the dire state of industrial food production, which ended with the line, “If you don’t like the system, don’t depend on it.” Andy sold his music rights, bought a farm, and has spent his life since finding a more restorative and sustainable way of growing food.
Together, they discuss how following natural systems for soil health leads to abundance and how it can transform our ailing agricultural system.
