Humans of Groundswell 2026 is produced in collaboration with Emergent Generation - a network of 18-35 year olds working to enable, encourage and empower young people to build a food system that nourishes people and planet. In this series, I chat with EmGen members at Groundswell '26 and share their inspiring stories.

Veronica White is a PhD researcher at the University of Exeter. She cycled the length of England chatting to female farmers about the future of farming. In this episode, she shares what they had to say and tells me about her four-day journey to Groundswell - a mini repeat of last year's epic tour.
