In this episode Becks chats with Mike Casey, Cromwell’s new kid on the block when it comes to horticulture. With a background in tech, not farming, Mike is definitely making his own mark on the industry by starting the worlds first 100% electric, zero fossil fuel cherry orchard and selling their cherries through the consumer brand that he co-founded called NZ0. Mike reached out to me over social media and I had the pleasure of heading over to check out the orchard. 

This Episode is based around UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 - Affordable and Clean Energy and we tackle the real conversation around how we can make meaningful impact of agricultural emissions footprint by reducing fossil fuel emissions and also the benefits of electrification to the bottom line

Mike is a numbers man and not shy about sharing data, so this episode is full of specific examples and financial figures in the hope that by sharing his experience others will be more open and confident to change.
