Be The Change series: Episode 2 talking with Will Heygate

Be The Change is a new project that Carbon Calling are running. It focuses on three farmers - Sarah Bell, Alan Robinson and Liz Hargreaves. Specific farm plans are being created by working with lots of different organisation and people from within our community. We are doing a series of podcasts with the people involved.

For this month, we talk to Will Heygate, who is a sheep and arable farmer from Northamptonshire. He runs a similar system to Sarah and will share their experiences through the recently funded Anglian Water cluster group focusing on biological approaches.
