Ben Ryan presents at the Soil Biology Forum in Clare

Ben talks about his journey to being a food producer and not a farmer. He suggests that a lot of what is done in agriculture is about killing rather than working with the plants and environment. He discusses how you need to be open to new ideas and how farm management is a continuous process of change. He now aims for a holistic management system, allowing resting and diversity of pasture, working with nature and not against it and working for his animals.
