Behind the scenes of Dyson Farming with James Dyson

Established in 2012, Dyson Farming is one of the largest farming businesses in the UK, extending to 36,000 acres across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire and Somerset.
It is a family-owned enterprise unlike any other, focussed on long-term investment in British farming and the countryside. Sustainable food production, food security and the environment are vital to the UK’s health and economy and James Dyson believes there is a real opportunity for technology to drive a revolution in agriculture. Dyson Farming is developing new approaches to efficient, high-technology agriculture and food production, in harmony with the natural environment, to create a positive farming model for the future.
Dyson Farming farms a range of produce at scale including wheat and barley, potatoes, onions, and peas. It also rears sheep and cattle. The business grows British strawberries out of season in its state-of-the-art 26-acre glasshouse which is heated by the adjacent anaerobic digester.

Industrialists branching out like this armed with capital are acquiring land from small farmers. This approach looks good, future proof and sensible. *But* we need to be aware that the fewer hands we put our future in, the more power these hands will have over us. Do we want that with food?

It would be great if he could help our current struggling farmers turn their farms into this too, rather than buying/ pushing them out.
