FFINLO COSTAIN
About this episode

To investigate, ffinlo Costain is joined by Baroness Minette Batters, Member of the House of Lords, farmer, former NFU president and author of Harvest: A farmer's story of heritage, home and hope - and by Clare Hill, a regen farmer and co-founder of Roots to Regeneration, a transition accelerator programme for farmers and professionals.
