Coverage from the UK Farm to Fork Summit led by Rishi Sunak
Neil Heseltine, a farmer from Malham, North Yorkshire, has made a name for himself in the agricultural world with his innovative farming practices at Hill Top Farm. Known for his low-input farming system, which focuses on Belted Galloway cattle and regenerative grazing, Heseltine's farm is certified by Pasture for Life and supports biodiversity through mixed species swards.
Heseltine recently shared his experiences and achievements at the UK Farm to Fork Summit, an event focused on discussing and promoting sustainable farming practices. However, it's worth noting that no significant representation from proponents of agro-ecological farming was present at the summit.
During his visit to 10 Downing Street as part of the Farm to Fork Summit, Heseltine's experiences and insights were highly sought after. Fidelity Weston, a journalist, was sent to gather information about Heseltine's experience at the summit.
Though specific details about Heseltine's participation and views from the event are not yet publicly available, it's clear that his work at Hill Top Farm has made a significant impact in the agricultural community. Heseltine's farm is a testament to the potential of regenerative farming systems, and his involvement in events like the Farm to Fork Summit helps to bring this important conversation to the forefront.
In addition to his work in sustainable farming, Heseltine has also been involved in David Attenborough's Wild Isles programme, further demonstrating his commitment to conservation and the environment.
As we continue to navigate the challenges of sustainable farming and food production, the work of individuals like Neil Heseltine will undoubtedly play a crucial role in shaping a more sustainable and resilient food system for the future.
