Liz Haines, a dairy farmer based in Staffordshire, and Dan Smith, who manages Jamie's Farm, are both Nuffield Scholars for 2024. What do they hope to acheive?

Dan Smith is a farm manager and consultant managing a commercial, net zero livestock farm for the benefit of underprivileged young people as well as the environment in the Wye Valley
