Alice is a qualified farming consultant providing farm management advice with a keen focus on agronomy and crop management. Her client base covers Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire encompassing a great variety of farms in terms of size, enterprise type and soil characteristics.

Alice studied Biological Science as an undergraduate at the University of Leeds, focusing on plant breeding and crop genetics. She then completed a Master's degree in Sustainable Agriculture at Harper Adams University before starting work as an agronomist. Her interest in the sustainability of farming has developed into a real passion for regenerative agriculture, in particular its practical implementation on UK farms. She is increasingly involved with clients enhancing soil health in order to facilitate the reduction of artificial inputs in both arable and mixed systems.

When not at work, Alice still likes to be outside as much as possible. She enjoys long-distance running, horse riding and exploring the UK countryside with her agronomy assistant, (yellow labrador) Buddy.
