Today we welcome Ben Williams onto the R2Kast! 🎙️ Ben has had a fascinating career spanning education, sustainability, and now as one of the directors of the Oxford Farming Conference. His journey has been anything but straightforward, moving from teaching to working in agriculture and sustainability, always driven by a passion for making things better. 🌍✨


Ben shares his experiences of working in education, particularly with special educational needs students, and how that shaped his perspective on learning and development. He talks about his time setting up a school farm and how hands-on experiences transformed students’ engagement. 🏫🐷


Now working in sustainability, Ben discusses his work ensuring that major food production systems meet environmental and ethical standards. He delves into the challenges and opportunities in making agriculture more sustainable, while keeping it financially viable for farmers and businesses. ♻️🚜


We also hear about Ben’s new role with the Oxford Farming Conference and his thoughts on the future of UK agriculture. His journey proves that careers don’t always follow a straight path – sometimes the best opportunities come from unexpected places! 🌱🎓
