Partner in a Farming enterprise

Studying an MSc in Sustainable Agriculture & Food Security. Looking into the solutions to the problems we are facing in food production and distribution. The course has both a global and UK approach, modules included Integrated Organic Systems, Poverty and Food Security, Agriculture and Policy, and International Rural Development.

MacGregor Farming Partnership is an award-winning Organic farm, producing high-quality cereals and vegetables. The farm also has a pedigree heard of Short-Horn cows, a 70 headstrong suckler herd, and a flock of pedigree Poll Dorset Sheep. During my time I learned about organic farm management, animal husbandry and field crops. Being organic the farm works closely with nature and won the Norfolk FWAG Nature in Farming award. Being on the farm when this award was won I learned how the farm was managed to create local ecosystems that benefit both the natural environment and agricultural output.

The job entailed testing the products produced by the factory. Working independently to a schedule.
