Speaker: David Wilson

Topic: Organic Food & Farming

David’s talk, around the theme of organic food and farming, will be informed by his long experience of organic and regenerative agriculture.

David Wilson was farm manager at the Highgrove estate for for 36 years followed by three years in the north Cotswolds at Fir Farm and Steve Winwood’s Lower Dean Manor Farm, establishing organic regenerative systems on both holdings.

He is now at Bowden Park Farm near Lacock with his youngest son Benj, in a new venture restoring a rundown estate by reintroducing livestock as part of an organic mixed farming system. He is interested in the links between soil, plant, animal and human health as well as the preservation of rare and heritage food genetics and their role in our future.
