In this episode, we are talking to Petra Martin, head of health and safety at Agrii, Alex Phillimore head of communications and development at FCN and Sam Bailey, Agrii agronomist and farmer. Today, we’re going to talk about loneliness and isolation. What are the causes? What are the effects and what can we do to combat this within the agricultural industry?

We are giving every listener a copy of the FCN’s Fit for Farming booklet. Simply email your address to [email protected] and we will send you one in the post (there is a male and female version, please specify your choice).

Tony Smith is your host on Tramlines. Based in the South West and with a farming background, he graduated with a B.Sc (Hons) Agriculture. He worked in the farming industry for many years before developing his career as a presenter.
