Description

Today’s guest is Alex Gray! πŸŽ™οΈ A lecturer in agriculture, countryside management, and horticulture, Alex is passionate about breaking down the silos in rural education. πŸŒ³πŸ“š


We talk about his background in ecology and farming, and how those two worldsβ€”often seen as oppositesβ€”can come together through regenerative agriculture and agroforestry. Alex shares how he is rolling out new systems at Brooksby College that get agriculture students, ecologists, and horticulture students working on the same land. πŸŒ±πŸ‘¨β€πŸ«


Our conversation explores the need for holistic land stewardship education, how New Zealand provides inspiration, and why young people should learn about ecosystems before specialising. It is a powerful discussion about the future of rural learning and how we prepare the next generation. 🌍✨


Enjoy! 😊
