Description

John Gilliland is on a mission to transform how we think about food, farming, and the environment. At Brook Hall Estate, his family’s historic farm in Derry, John began by trying to lower his farm’s energy bills, but his changes grew into a model for climate-friendly farming that’s now guiding policy in Northern Ireland and beyond.

An award-winning farmer and one of the world’s leading voices in agricultural sustainability, John has pioneered techniques to take his farm beyond carbon neutral.

In this episode of Food Matters, John talks to Mick Kelly of GIY about why he started making changes, what he’s learned, and how we can all be part of a better food future.
