The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has it's own reason for existing.

Our Story

Born and raised on a beef & sheep farm in North Yorkshire, Amy has spent the last 16 years working in Agricultural extension and education. Inspired by her Grandad Ken and Dad, John (pictured left), she gets out of bed in the morning to help British farmers thrive through the design, development and delivery of innovative knowledge exchange programmes. 


Following the birth of her second son, she struggled with postnatal depression and anxiety, and has since developed a huge interest in human psychology, behaviour change and mindset. 


She's a lifelong learner, always looking for new information that she can apply to her work to increase the impact across the industry. Amy has been the Chair of the British Cattle Breeders Club, runner up in the Meat Business Women 'One to Watch' awards and the Women in Meat 'Training and education' awards and has spoken at conferences and on panel sessions internationally. 


She holds a Post Graduate Diploma in Agricultural Science and Production Systems, a Post Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Livestock Production, is a mental health first aider and co-hosts a podcast called 'Think Outside The Fence' where she, and her co-host, Arron Nerbas, interview people from all over the world that are doing things a little bit differently in agriculture. 


Amy has written multiple articles for national farming press, as well as blogs and opinion pieces.

How we can help

This website has one reason for being in existence - to inspire people in agriculture to think differently. We want to get the cogs turning by writing thought-provoking blogs and by recording entertaining podcasts. Amy does have some other skills that may be of use though...

  • Developing knowledge exchange programmes that drive behaviour change through peer-to-peer learning and workshop design that engages the audience and caters for different learning styles.
  • Article, blog and opinion piece writing
  • Public speaking - aiming to challenge traditions and address the 'elephant in the room'
  • Group facilitation - encouraging learning, building communities and driving change.
