In this session, the 2023 Scottish Young Farmer Forester of the Year, David Carruth, will tell us all about Brodoclea Woodland Farm in Ayrshire where he and his team practise an innovative approach to agroforestry. As well as explaining his award-winning work with “trees and pigs”, David will speak about his own journey from conventional to regenerative farming — highlighting some of the challenges facing farming communities in the shires west of Glasgow. And of course, no venture into the lands of Rabbie Burns would be complete without a couple of poems along the way.
