In this episode of our Women Changing the World series, AJ Sharp is joined by Emma Loder-Symonds of Nonington Farms in Kent, a regenerative arable farm proving that producing food and restoring nature can go hand in hand.
Emma and her husband James are challenging conventional, high-input agriculture by putting nature back at the centre of every farming decision. It’s about community, collaboration and why more women are helping lead change in farming.
Emma and AJ discuss soil biology, skylarks at dawn, blending wheat varieties, and the quiet revolution happening beneath our feet.
If you care about ultra-processed food, food security, climate impact or simply better bread, this episode will make you feel hopeful about the future of British farming.
This series is sponsored by Fox and Bloom, a female-founded, women-led UK skincare brand creating 100% natural, waterless and plastic-free products designed to support healthy skin and the planet.
