FARM DEEP DIVE: My Journey Into Nature-Friendly Tenant Farming

Join NFFN Farming Champion Amelia Greenway of Springwater Farm in Devon and NFFN Scotland Vice Chair Ruth Ashton-Shaw of Low Auldgirth in Dumfries, as they deep-dive into Amelia’s journey into farming, having grown up on a family farm and now having started her own farming business as a tenant farmer for the National Trust. The discussion will focus on how Amelia has navigated being a new entrant to farming, her experiences as a female farmer in a still largely male-dominated industry, and the more practical aspects of nature friendly farming on her farm e.g. their use of conservation grazing.
