Rachel Berry
Communications Officer
I am Communications Officer at Soil Association Scotland. I’ve worked with charities and non profit organisations since 2010, sharing stories of people and organisations doing positive things in communities. At Soil Association Scotland, I work with farmers to show how embedding organic and sustainable practices into farming can be good for business and for the environment.

“We found a way to farm with nature rather than against it.”
Charley and Andrea Walker take a holistic approach to farm management by carefully considering the social, ecological and financial impacts of every decision. They aim to find a balance between running a successful business, creating a healthy environment and ensuring a good quality of life for themselves and their family.
“Increasing biodiversity is an ecosystem service for all of us”
Denise Walton farms organically at Peelham Farm in the Scottish Borders. Alongside her family, she has transformed it from a derelict arable farm to a thriving, connected habitat, designed to provide space for wildlife, such as birds and pollinating insects.
