‘We can talk about soils and farming all day but without great leaders we are going nowhere' - Jonty Brunyee.

Jonty talks to John Knights, former Corporate Vice President of a Fortune 100 company in the US and Co-founder of LeaderShape Global.

John explains how leadership is much more than just about telling people what to do - it’s about influencing, persuading and engaging others. John specialises in transpersonal leadership with a focus on feelings, emotions and values which requires self awareness and will ‘make you a better customer and parent as well as employer’.

John ends by talking about the introductory course he is leading at FarmED, which will include deep dives into how to to develop your new styles of leadership and decision making.

‘We are taught that decision making should be rational,’ says John. ‘But intuition, insight, instinct and ethical philosophy all have an important impact and if we are aware of these different processes we will make better decisions.’

‘Everyone is and can be a leader and regenerative transition requires good leadership if we are to get there fast enough and deep enough,’ says Jonty.

FarmED is the new Centre for Farming and Food Education based at Honeydale Farm in the Cotswolds.

Our mission is to accelerate the transition towards regenerative farming and sustainable food systems by providing space and opportunity for inspirational education, innovative research, practitioner-led knowledge exchange events and personal development.

The farm is a diverse mix of low input arable and temporary grass, and organic permanent pasture. Our trial plots include blocks of sainfoin, herbal ley, barley, heritage wheat, wild bird seed and various cover crops. The grassland is managed by mob grazed sheep.

At the heart of FarmED are two impressive eco-buildings – one providing space for conferences, lectures, workshops and special events; and the other a farm to fork kitchen and food space, and a regenerative business incubator.

Our audience includes local communities, schools, universities, researchers, farmers, new entrants, foodies, businesses, environmental groups and policy makers.
