I grew up in the beautiful flat land that is Norfolk. I think growing up in rural North Norfolk, surrounded by a farming community, has organically pushed my interests as a Biologist towards food production, the role farmers have as stewards and farming’s impact on nature. Anyone who has ever been to Norfolk in the middle of harvest will have seen for themselves the beauty of the golden oil seed fields mixing in with the green of the hedgerows. I am enjoying learning about how this traditional landscape could be used to both support wildlife and humans. In my spare time at home I volunteer for the Papillion charity, a charity based in teaching school children how to grow food at home sustainably.
