Caroline Drummond - LEAF Chief Executive

I have been run­ning LEAF since the begin­ning, 30 years ago. I am pas­sion­ate about work­ing with the Board, our team, mem­bers and farm­ers in deliv­er­ing pos­i­tive change on farm. The envi­ron­ment and farm­ing go hand in hand and LEAF’s focus remains true to its core val­ues and ambi­tions in trans­form­ing farm­ing and food sys­tems. As LEAF grows I still love how our work pro­vides the cat­a­lyst for dis­cus­sion, adap­tion, exper­i­men­ta­tion and change.

James Loder-Symonds - LEAF Demonstration Farmer

James Loder-Symonds, alongside his partner Emma,  runs Nonington Farms, a 400 acre arable farm in Kent which also contract farms over 3000 acres. The core values of Nonington Farms are Learn, Grow, Protect, all of which are underpinned by the principles of Integrated Farm Management.

Carl Edwards - LEAF Director of Education and Public Engagement

Com­ing from the edu­ca­tion sec­tor, I am pas­sion­ate about engag­ing with our future gen­er­a­tions and com­mu­ni­cat­ing effec­tive­ly with our wider soci­ety. Through expe­ri­en­tial learn­ing with a fact-base​​​​​​​d approach, it gives peo­ple the oppor­tu­ni­ty to under­stand what our indus­try does to pro­vide sus­tain­able and nutri­tious food and allows them to make informed deci­sions that ben­e­fit them and our planet.
