The group of ambassadors aim to represent a broad range of farm types and systems.

The project was founded in 2018, and seeks to support farmers who farm, or wish to farm, in a way that will improve the natural health of the countryside.

Over the next year, each of the farmers will host a walk on their land, participate in videos and podcasts about their farming system and take part in an online Q&A.
