We are delighted to introduce to you the newest member of our team, Adam Langford, who will be our first agri-environmental consultant.
His background and skillset will enable us to provide our clients with additional services, by offering environmental assessments and ecological surveys. Adam will be providing specialist follow up work under the Future Farming Resilience Fund and will help to support all our clients in their transition to working with new land-based schemes.
Adam originally lived in Kent, and has been working for Natural England, following his postgraduate study in Wildlife Conservation. He also has spent time working on fruit farms in the Southeast, in addition to delivering on habitat connectivity on Salisbury plain.
Delivering for commercial farms will be the focus for Adam’s skillset having worked as a Catchment Sensitive Farming Adviser in the Bristol Avon region, where he helped farmers improve their water quality, air quality, and contribute to natural flood management & nature recovery. His main focus within that role was guiding farmers with their slurry and manure management, utilising current land management schemes to improve legislative compliance.
Adam’s mindset is focused on ‘Efficiency to drive environmental gain’ and says:
“With ever growing pressure on land use and public scrutiny on the farming sector, the need for robust advice and support for farmers is essential. Through a blend of upcoming schemes and support I hope farmers can navigate their way to more efficient, profitable, higher welfare farming systems whilst also contributing to improved soil health, nature recovery and climate resilience, demonstrating that these objectives can be achieved alongside each other.”
In the coming months, we look forward to working with our clients through the agricultural transition and adding new services to the core services we provide our farming clients. We feel very confident Adam will be a great addition to the team.
If you would like advice with ensuring your management practices comply with current land management schemes, contact us on 01380 724687 or email info@akcagric.co.uk.
