Kirsty Young's castaway is the farmer, and Chief Executive of the Soil Association, Helen Browning.

Born and brought up on the farm in Wiltshire she runs today, she told her father she wanted to be a 'proper farmer' aged just 9. By the time she was 24 her father had passed the reins on to her and not long after, she made it entirely organic.

Inspired by five of her great aunts who, after the First World War, began farming themselves, today she continues to run the family farm, her own meat business and the local pub. Awarded the OBE in 1998 for services to farming, she is chair of the Food Ethics Council, has served on the Curry Commission into the Future of Farming and Food and was appointed Chief Executive of the Soil Association in 2010.



Kirsty Young的弃儿是农民，也是土壤协会的首席执行官Helen Browning。

她在威尔特郡的农场出生并长大，她在9岁时就告诉她父亲她想成为一个 "真正的农民"。在她24岁的时候，她的父亲已经把缰绳交给了她，不久之后，她就把农场完全变成了有机农场。

她的五个大姨妈在第一次世界大战后开始自己耕作，受此启发，今天她继续经营家庭农场、她自己的肉类生意和当地的酒吧。由于对农业的贡献，她在1998年被授予OBE勋章，她是食品伦理委员会的主席，曾在库里委员会担任过农业和食品的未来，并在2010年被任命为土壤协会的首席执行官。
