BASF’s #BiggestJobonEarth podcast shares experiences from the people that grow our food and care for our environment. In each episode, we talk to farmers about what they do, why they do it, and why despite the ever-changing challenges they face they get up every morning to do their job.

In this episode, we have frank and open conversations with farmers about the challenges, differences and difficult conversations they have had; conversations which can be easily overlooked to the detriment of everyone’s mental health.

We talk to Ben Taylor-Davis about his battle with mental health following a life-changing accident experienced by his youngest child, and how regenerative agriculture has helped him on a path to a more positive future. Lydia Slack shares her experience growing up in the farming community as a gay woman and the journey she found herself on alongside her immediate family to a place of acceptance and advocacy. She shares her belief that through storytelling we can collectively create a more inclusive community that benefits from diversity.

Finally, we hear from Jude McCann from the Farming Community Network about the service they provide for farmers and families experiencing personal or work-related challenges. Our guests are open and transparent whilst discussing how by accepting themselves and reaching out when needed they were able to be their most comfortable, confident and creative.
