A founding member of QS, Nigel Greenwood is a mixed cropping farmer and former chair of the QS board. He’s been skinning his knees, trying different things for about 14 years, with a focus on managing crop nutrition for human, animal and plant health. Healthy plants don't get sick, nor animals and humans. His goal is nutrient dense food for all, and you can find out more about Nigel’s farming system in our ‘Regenerative arable transitions’ case study.

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
