The Farmers Guardian Podcast: From Brighton to the countryside 鈥� young farmer thrives despite being told not to pursue agriculture at school

Coco Jalloh, 19, was told to pursue something else at school; that she was too academic for farming. Her passion and determination, however, has seen her find her way into agriculture, with hopes of becoming a farm vet.

In this podcast she also talks about her ADHD and autism diagnosis, and how farming is the perfect career for someone who is neuro-diverse.
