I’m a fifth-generation farmer spearheading a shift towards an ecologically-driven farm model at Ballyconnelly Farm. I am also a Higher Environmental Planning Officer at Shared Environmental Service. Both roles demand an in-depth understanding of natural systems, environmental policy, and biodynamics.

Having gained a MSc in Ecological Management and Conservation Biology, I questioned the interaction between food and nature. I have developed a community farm model where people gain skills to catalyse their understanding of the flux between food and nature. Through the 30 Under 30 programme, I am driven to demonstrate that agriculture, biodiversity, and climate systems thrive symbiotically
