Tamsyn Harrod-Beck

• Tamsyn is passionate about supporting the progressive farmers she describes as the sector’s ‘game changers’ - those embracing regenerative farming to produce healthier food while restoring nature. Helping people turn ideas into action makes her role as an Agrisgôp leader a natural fit for her skills and experience. 

• A persuasive advocate for sustainable food production and land management, Tamsyn is a member of the Landworkers’ Alliance. She has more than 16 years’ experience in commercial agriculture, specialising in project delivery, financial management and building successful partnerships. Throughout her career, she has brought people together to develop strategic networks, unlock new opportunities and build the confidence needed to deliver lasting change. 

"Whether you're exploring regenerative farming, considering a diversification enterprise or simply looking for opportunities to increase profits, Agrisgôp offers a supportive space to share experiences, challenge thinking and turn good ideas into practical action." 

• A sustainable food and farming consultant for many years and now an experienced hedge layer too, Tamsyn is the founder of Bricks & Briar, the business she established in 2025 to help farmers and land managers secure funding for hedgerow restoration and management to improve biodiversity and long-term farm resilience. She is also developing an intensive cut flower enterprise at an eight-acre site at her Pembrokeshire smallholding, targeting wholesale markets.
