Joel Williams Workshop Soil Health Dairy &Arable

Joel Williams needs no introduction; a soil health educator,  rethinking soils through a lens of biology.

Joel has completed a Bachelor of Agricultural Science (AUS) specialising in plant and soil dynamics and an MSc in Food Policy (UK) which focussed on food systems, intercropping and agroecological transitions. He guest lectures on the MSc Biological & Organic Agriculture program at South East Technological University in Ireland and has previously worked at The University of Roehampton in the UK running a market garden for a food and sustainability project offering extra curricular training for non-agricultural/horticultural students.

Kindly hosted by Kiki and J J Willcocks who supply milk to award-winning Trewithen Dairy and are one of the farms taking part in Trewithen Dairy’s pioneering Earth Milk project. The exciting project seeks to explore how the environmental impact of dairy farming (particularly greenhouse gas emissions) can be countered by nurturing the soil with the help of the cows with the potential benefit of carbon storage.
