Talking Leaders: Hard conversations, better farming

Behind every successful farm is a mindset ready to learn, adapt, and grow. Join us as we explore how the way farmers think today will drive the success and sustainability of agriculture tomorrow.

Get to know Amy Hughes, founder of EmpowerAg and co-host of the podcast Think Outside The Fence and find out what you can learn from her journey.

Her insights will inspire you to wrestle with challenge, lean into growth and make better choices for your farm, your team and your future.

Let’s talk about change, courage and better farming.

Amy Hughes

Born and raised on a beef and sheep farm in North Yorkshire, Amy has spent more than 18 years working in agricultural extension and education roles.

Inspired by her grandad Ken and dad John, she gets out of bed in the morning to help British farmers thrive.

Following the birth of her second son, she struggled with postnatal depression and anxiety, and has since developed a huge interest in human psychology, behaviour change and mindset.

Challenging her own traditions has enabled her to share those experiences with others in the farming industry, to create the change they want to see.

Amy is the founder of EmpowerAg and co-hosts a podcast called Think Outside The Fence.
