29. Farmstrong with Gerard Vaughan

In this episode Becks sits down with Gerard Vaughan from Farmstrong. Gerard is Farmstrong’s programme director and he helped design and establish the programme in 2015 . He now oversees its research and education initiatives and is passionate about turning the science of wellbeing into practical tools and resources for busy farmers.

Farmstrong is a nationwide wellbeing programme for the rural community with the aim of supporting farmers to “live well to farm well” and in this episode Gerard shares with us why looking after your mental wellbeing is not a positive for you, but also a positive for your business! We dig deep into the research but also the practical experiences of farmers, so this episode is full of great stories and takeaway tips.
