Sarah Langford is a former criminal barrister turned regenerative farming advocate, writer, and mother of two. After years in the courtroom, she traded legal briefs for muddy boots, returning to her family’s land to learn how to heal both soil and society. Her acclaimed book Rooted weaves personal experience with the future of sustainable farming in Britain and has become a rallying cry for a more conscious relationship with land. Sarah now bridges two worlds—justice and agriculture—bringing insight, clarity, and urgency to conversations around food, climate, and rural resilience. Her legal career is coming full circle as she works and advocates for agricultural justice in Britain.
In this episode we cover:
- The desire to be a ‘high flyer’
- Turning to writing as a mother of 2
- What organic farming taught her about patience
- How tech and nature can work together
- Why urban people that care about wellness should sit with farmers
- Our in-built reaction to soil that we are losing
- Why success is reaching outwards to others
