Rebecca Hesketh runs a farm on the Isle of Wight with her partner, where they use conservation grazing of native breed cows and sheep to enhance habitats. They are National Trust Tenants and work with the Trust to protect and enhance two Sites of Special Scientific Interest on the Island.

Rebecca is also a member of the Cool Farm Alliance team and has worked much of her career within the agricultural sector and food supply chains. Prior to returning to the farm at home, Rebecca was a Programme Manager within the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Food Initiative and before this, she worked at the UK retailer Waitrose, where she held the position of Ethics and Sustainability Manager for Fresh Produce.
