Dave is available for hire on 12/24m.

[Sarah Langford @wigsandwords]

Genuinely brilliant day at @Hutchinsons_Ag as part of @RoyalAgUni. I’m not sure I ever expected an agronomy firm to host an agri student day and use words like ‘agroecological’ and ‘the soil food web’ but here we are. Farming is changing.

[Ren Frances @RenFrances22]

6 years ago studying a MSc dissertation on Agroecological farming, I asked 100 farmers & agronomists to explain agroecology to me. 1% could do this. Now one of the big uk agronomy firms are holding a packed conference dedicated to this topic. Farming is changing #agroecology
