Episode Details

Today we welcome Russ to the R2Kast 🎙️ Someone whose career spans farming, engineering, regenerative agriculture, mentoring and rural youth leadership at a European level. 🌾

We talked about growing up on a family farm, studying engineering, travelling extensively, and how seeing farming systems around the world shaped his focus on change in agriculture. Russ explained his role in setting up farmer led organisations, his work on regenerative systems, and why mindset and context matter just as much as techniques. 🍎

A big part of the discussion focused on mentoring and coaching. How supporting farmers through change works best when it’s collaborative rather than prescriptive, and why succession, communication and family dynamics are central to long term resilience. We also spoke about his leadership with Rural Youth Europe, representing hundreds of thousands of rural young people across the continent.

Enjoy! 🙂
