Field to Front Door – Episode 8 on peony season, delivery challenges and keeping customers happy
<p>Today we’re back with Field to Front Door 🎙️</p><br><p>David, Martin and Wallace catching up right in the middle of what can only be described as peak peony madness. </p><br><p>A big part of this episode focused on the realities of direct selling during the busiest part of the season. We got into subscription boxes, picking peonies at exactly the right stage, managing labour, and the challenge of trying to get a product from field to customer as fresh as possible.</p><br><p>There was also a fascinating discussion around logistics and delivery. David shared the story of dealing with thousands of parcels during peony season, the impact of bank holidays, working with DPD and the reality that one delay can suddenly create hundreds of customer messages, emails and problems to solve.</p><br><p>We also spoke about tractor runs, community events and how those sorts of gatherings help connect farming with the wider public. Alongside that there was plenty of chat around direct selling, customer loyalty and why looking after existing customers is often more important than constantly chasing new ones.</p><br><p>One of the strongest themes throughout was value. Not just the value of a product, but understanding what it is actually worth, building trust with customers and creating systems that allow farmers to keep more of the value from what they produce.</p><br><p>We’re going to keep this going fortnightly for now and see where it takes us. If you’ve got ideas on what we should cover or who we should bring in, send them our way.</p><br><p>Enjoy! 🙂</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Agricology Podcast S4E1 - Agroecology around Arran Meat and Livestock
<p>From the early days of crofting and subsistence farming to the present day, animal protein has provided an essential and highly valuable source of nutrients for Arran’s population. While sheep and beef production have always been central to Arran’s farming economy, venison is now also being embraced as a sustainable protein source that can help to combat the growing threat that the wild deer population poses to island ecosystems.</p><p>In this first episode of our new series <a href="https://agricology.co.uk/research-projects/agroecology-around-arran-agricology-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Agroecology Around Arran</a>, we explore how the production of meat on Arran embraces the ethos of agroecology, how farmers are working together to reduce carbon emissions from livestock farming, and what we can learn from their example.</p><p><strong>Guests</strong></p><p><br></p><h3>Alistair Currie</h3><p><br></p><p>Alistair talks to us about his livestock farm based in the Shiskine Valley. He maintains a herd of around around 30 native-breed beef cattle which are fed on pasture and home-grown silage.</p><h3>Colin Currie</h3><p>Colin Currie is an upland hill farmer who has been farming sheep and beef at Bridge Farm with his wife Laura since the 1970s. Bridge Farm is situated within a SSSI-designated site that is home to a rich diversity of flora and fauna. Colin uses his innate knowledge of the land to create a low-input livestock system that has allowed him to reduce reliance on external markets, maximise animal welfare, and work in harmony with the surrounding ecosystem.</p><h3>Zoë Hughes</h3><p>Zoë Hughes runs <a href="https://www.wildisle-venison.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wild Isle Venison</a> with her partner Chris. Their work aims to honour the deer that are harvested alongside protecting the natural landscape on Arran and strengthening the local food chain. Zoë is passionate about sustainable, affordable meat that has a positive impact on the environment. Wild Isle Venison works to reconnect producers and consumers, processing venison in small batches and selling to local residents, chefs and businesses across the island.</p><h3>Alec Pirie</h3><p><a href="https://www.sruc.ac.uk/all-sac-consulting-news-posts/meet-the-consultant-alex-pirie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alec Pirie</a> is a Senior Consultant and Area Manager for SAC Consulting. Alec works with over 120 clients across Scotland and has a particular interest in carbon, climate and conservation. He has also recently completed a Master's degree in Wildlife, Conservation and Management. Alec started the <a href="https://www.fas.scot/connect/net-zero-arran/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Net Zero Arran</a> group in 2019. This aim of this group of farmers is to quantify the island's agricultural carbon footprint and take collective action to improve it.</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

Tales of a Nuffield Scholar with Awal Fuseini, Alex Crawley and Laura Eden
<p>Today on series two of Tales of a Nuffield Scholar supported by NFU Mutual we continue looking ahead to the 2026 Nuffield Farming Scholarships Conference in Leeds 🎙️ Across this series we’re hearing from scholars who will feature within the conference presentation groups, giving a flavour of the conversations, ideas and experiences set to shape the event 🌍</p><br><p>This episode focuses on the presentation group “Livestock Systems Built for the Future” with Awal Fuseini, Alex Crawley and Laura Eden 🌱</p><br><p>We spoke about three very different journeys into agriculture and Nuffield, from veterinary science and halal meat systems through to conservation grazing, military service, diplomacy and livestock health. It was fascinating hearing how each of them has approached the future of livestock systems from completely different angles, while still landing on many of the same themes around resilience, sustainability and animal welfare 🚜</p><br><p>Across the conversation we explored everything from extensive grazing systems and flood prevention through to goat dairies, meat processing, animal health, biosecurity and the role livestock can play in supporting landscapes and ecosystems. One of the standout themes was how much can be learned from stepping outside your own system and looking at how other countries approach the same challenges 🌍</p><br><p>There were also some brilliant discussions around the human side of farming and livestock production, whether that was supporting farmers through better veterinary communication, learning from traditional systems in Africa and Asia, or recognising the wider value livestock can bring beyond simply producing meat or milk 🌾</p><br><p>The episode also gave a great insight into the Nuffield journey itself, from the intensity of the CSC in New Zealand through to the global connections and opportunities that come from travelling, asking questions and challenging your own assumptions. Without giving away everything that will be shared on stage in Leeds, this was another brilliant glimpse into the ideas shaping the future of agriculture </p><br><p>Thank you to NFU Mutual for their support of this project.</p><br><p>Enjoy! 🙂</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
