This opportunity is ideal for:

• Farmers and land-based businesses applying, or exploring, regenerative principles

• Primary producers or mixed enterprises seeking to strengthen strategy, resilience, and long-term viability

• Small-to-medium agricultural or regional businesses evolving their business models to meet changing conditions

• Social enterprises or community-led initiatives where land stewardship and commercial success go hand in hand

In the session, you will:

We’re also joined by James McLennan, CEO and Co-founder of Farm My School. Combined with his passion for the sustainability sector and with over 20 years’ experience in environmental education, James works with schools to transform under-utilised grounds into regenerative farms that educate, nourish, and connect communities.

Recently named Jamie Oliver Food Hero Award – Food Entrepreneur of the Year (2024), James will share why Farm My School isn’t really about growing vegetables, they’re simply a by-product of building resilient food systems, creating pathways for young people into regenerative farming, supporting climate action, and driving meaningful systems change.
