    Let me paint a picture of our guest today. Ed Kyrke-Smith established Rebel Farmer as a rebellion against the conventional practices of food consumption. His platform promotes and produces local seasonal food, grown ethically on a smaller scale, while also educating communities on sustainable growing techniques.

    With a focus on fostering smaller, more localised consumer-producer relationships, Ed's mission is to reduce the negative environmental impact of farming and create a more resilient food system.

    Eight years after nurturing his first tomato plant, and with seven years of dedicated development from his site in Kent, Ed now stands as a leading voice in sustainable growing, ethical agriculture, and principles of NO-DIG and permaculture.

    Ed’s dedication to ethical farming and community engagement is truly inspiring. I can't wait to delve deeper into your journey and the impact you're making in the world of food production.
