ReGen Ag Fancy Chat 14 - Peter Craven

April 16, 2025 • Liz Genever and Nic Renison

Liz Genever and Nic Renison - co-founders of Carbon Calling CIC - chat with Peter Craven who has recently been appointed Head of Agriculture at Natural England.

We talk about Peter move from his family farm to working with NIAB and now Natural England. We spent a while discussing his Nuffield studies and the importance of setting up a family charter.

Liz and Peter were on Oxford Farming Conference Emerging Leaders Programme together in 2020, and we bumped into one another again at ORFC in January.

This is the third of a series of three podcasts where we talk to people who have changed their "identity" and are now leaders within regenerative and agroecological approaches.
