The Global Farmher: Using agriculture to travel the world

Bridging the gap between farm and the consumer is something that lots of farmers are trying to do in an effort to help more people understand the reality of what goes into producing their food, and hopefully alter public opinion on why supporting and buying British is so important.

As part of their work on social media to contribute to farmer’s efforts in showcasing British agriculture, A-Plan Rural Insurance have setup a Rural Community blog, where they invite farmers to give their experiences in the industry, sharing their contributions to over 115,000 followers on Instagram. Since starting the blog, A-Plan Rural have worked with a great variety of farmers from differing backgrounds and locations all over the UK.

In their latest blog, they spoke with Rachel Stratton who has worked as a shepherd, shearer, tractor driver, stock(wo)man, advisor, admin, and several other roles within the industry across the globe. She has farmed all over the world and shares her stories through A-Plan Rural’s Community Blog, as well as her own blog on her website: www.theglobalfarmher.com.
