In this episode we're talking about increasing your overall business turnover, and in turn business resilience, through enterprise stacking. But we're also talking about an innovative and exciting business pitching opportunity called ‘Pitch Up' which was started by one of our guests on his farm in Hampshire. Pitch Up! is an annual call-out for anyone with a start-up or growing business in the countryside looking for a farm to call home. It's all about farmers sharing land, raw materials, retail space or production space as well as ideas, knowledge and contacts but also seeing the benefits. Joining host Peter Green is Tim May who is the founder of PitchUp and Managing Director of Kingsclere Estates in Hampshire. Peter is also joined by Dave Oates, a Nuffield scholar and mixed farmer from south Cornwall who is part of the Pitch Up programme.  Are there topics you'd like us to cover or guests you'd love to hear from?

Claire is a multi generational Scottish beef farmer who says 'Ag has potency and potential to be a catalyst on the front line of climate catastrophe'.As a Nuffield scholar 'exploring the scrutiny being placed on agriculture and how perceptions are changing', she embarked on a world research tour. While travelling, she fell in love with an Australian lad & now finds herself living in rural NSW. So after establishing a strong journalism career steeped in trust & long held relationships on home turf, she now finds herself on this wide brown land in the heat of summer without her networks & a need to rebuild a new life with people who she tells us are more laid back, more inclined to use humour dripping in sarcasm to navigate hard things & are exceptionally resilient.“Leave judgements at the door & come without bias in order to communicate which is both talking but equally listening, we've all got to be prepared to change our mindsets”“First gen farmers are more daring to have hard conversations & to really listen - they can be brave.""For progress we need to think outside ag - and not just speak to ourselves." "When will people other than farmers step into the food system & support the much needed potential for farming to be the potent ecological change making piece it is . Farmers cannot be all the things, they are best to be the land stewards but others need to take up the roles of advocating, supply chain development, consumer education, policy change & story telling"Links You'll LoveClaire Taylor Linked inNuffield Scholarship programLoved this?

Depending on where you sit, the supremacy of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) action seems inevitable. Corporates are talking about. Investors are talking about it. Governments, regulators, and even farmers are talking about it. And yet for many of us, the questions of what exactly ESG is, what pursuing these goals means, and how soon acting on them will be mandatory remain unanswered. Then just when it feels like we start to get a handle on a definition or a timeline, you leave one geography and enter another, and it seems like all the rules have changed! This level of ambiguity has piqued our interest to learn more about trends in ESG, global variations in ESG practices, and what the future might hold. So this week, we're sitting down with Catherine Marriott, recent Nuffield Australia Awardee, who has spent the last year traveling around the world to learn about the current and future state of ESG in agriculture.For more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.
