Chief Executive Richard Rankin said, “To mark International Women’s Day, we really wanted to both showcase some of the hugely successful women working in the Agricultural and Rural Business Sectors, and provide best practice examples of how enterprises can diversify and maximise revenue, all whilst achieving their net zero targets. Since time began women have been integral to land stewardship and our panellists bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table.
