Every episode India speaks to a guest who shares their story and approach to moving in nature, with the hope that these conversations will encourage you to get outside, move, dream big, and start making your own ripples.

    Ed Kyrke-Smith | From city supermarkets to permaculture produce

    Send us a text 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.
