Talking Leaders: Rooted leadership

Join this online broadcast with Sean Cameron to learn about soil preservation techniques, carbon capture in agriculture, leadership and more.

Sean works on his family farm on the south-eastern edge of the Pampas in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Since 1996, his arable farm has operated a no-till system. The main crops are wheat, barley, white clover seed production, sunflower, corn and seed corn, and sweetcorn produced under irrigation. They also produce some peas and often plant a second crop of soybean after the wheat and barley harvest.

• Soil preservation techniques
  • Highlighting methods such as no-till farming to protect and enhance soil health
• Comparative Analysis: Arable farming in the UK vs Argentina
  • Exploring the advantages and disadvantages of arable farming in both regions
• Strategies for reducing chemical usage in agriculture
  • Discussing alternative approaches to minimise chemical inputs in farming practices
• Economic and social contrasts

• Carbon capture in agriculture
  • Examining the role of farmers in carbon capture and how it can be leveraged for the farmer’s benefits
• Leadership and management in agribusiness
  • Addressing key aspects of leadership and management in the context of modern agribusiness, emphasising sustainable practices and decision-making
