Since childhood, Marta has been drawn to farming and nature. She grew up in a small town in south-west Poland and spent summer holidays on her grandparents’ smallholding being chased by geese, feeding pigs and exploring local woodlands.

Having settled in rural Norfolk in her twenties, in 2015, Marta began studying Global Ecology and Wildlife Conservation at Leicester University. However, she then decided to pursue a BA (Honours) in International Studies with Environment at the Open University. 

Marta continues to be involved on a local estate where, as part of its diversification plan, she manages an Arabian stud and runs a holiday let. She also helps the estate’s farming contractor with his operations, particularly during harvest when she drives a combine or carts harvested grain.

Marta strongly believes that farmers can play a crucial role in mitigating many effects of climate change by altering some of their practices. Major focus should be put on soil health and biodiversity increase. She is interested in agroforestry, the integration of trees into arable and livestock systems. In her spare time Marta enjoys riding her horse Khalid through Norfolk’s beautiful countryside, learning Russian and swimming in the North Sea.
