About this episode
Jack Munro discusses his journey in agriculture, consultancy, and advocating for youth involvement in the food and farming sector.
Today I had Jack on the R2Kast 🎙️ A farm consultant, new entrant farmer and someone heavily involved in giving young people a voice in the food and farming sector. 🌾 We spoke about his route into agriculture, from a family connection through to studying at SRUC and building a career in consultancy. That led into working with livestock, including buffalo, before moving back into consultancy and now stepping into a new role helping lead a team while building his own farming business alongside it. 🍎 A big part of the conversation focused on what consultancy actually looks like. Working with farmers, problem solving, listening, and building trust rather than just telling people what to do. We also spoke about imposter syndrome, learning on the job and the importance of having a strong network around you. 🌍 We also got into new entrant farming, building a business from scratch and his role in the UK Youth Food and Farming Forum, pushing for real youth voice in decision making across the industry. Enjoy! 🙂 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
