🎉 Episode 300! A huge thank you to everyone who has supported the R2Kast journey over the past four years—your engagement has made this possible! Here’s to the next 300! 🎧

Today, we welcome Megan Rowland, a passionate advocate for sustainable land management, deer management, and crofting in Scotland. Growing up on a croft in Orkney, Megan’s journey took her from vegetarianism to a deep appreciation for responsible meat production. She shares how hands-on experience changed her perspective on food sustainability and land use. 🌱

We delve into her career in deer management, where she works with NatureScot and voluntary deer management groups to balance conservation, biodiversity, and the realities of managing Scotland’s red deer population. Megan also shares her insights on crofting, fencing challenges, and her goal of producing more of her own food. 🦌

A well-deserved recipient of the Ineos Countryside Champion award, Megan discusses her advocacy for responsible land stewardship and demystifying game management. Her story highlights the complexities of sustainability, food production, and rural life. 🏆

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in conservation, sustainable food systems, and the realities of working with Scotland’s natural landscapes. Thank you to Howden Rural for the continued support! 🙌
