Parenthood and Regenerative Agriculture

Some of us are farmers before we become parents. For others it happens the other way around. Some choose farming as a lifestyle to raise a family and teach the next generation food security, sovereignty and animal husbandry. However farming and parenting match together, there are benefits – socially, environmentally, economically. Farming and parenting also have their challenges. Unreliable wages, weather fluctuations and long work hours. Demands on families are exacerbated by farming. Intergenerational expectations and succession plans. Regenerative farming is not just about the food produced. Join farmer and founder of the Ballymaloe Cookery School, Darina Allen and farmers, Kylie Magner, Francesca Cooper and Hollie Fallick as they delve into the realities for parenting and farming. They will share their struggles and highlights working in farming enterprises as parents of multiple children.
