In today’s episode, host Peter Green is turning attention to the topic of how to inspire and engage the next generation with farming. There’s a huge opportunity to connect young people with the land—and perhaps even spark future careers in agriculture. But how best to do this? Can we get more children on to farms and how can we connect children and schools with farms? 

To discuss this topic he is joined by Cambridgeshire farmer and the founder of Farmer Time Tom Martin and Louise Wallis who is FWAG South West’s Education Officer.
