James Rebanks: From a small property in the UK to world-wide farm fame

LambEx 2018, final conference speaker, James Rebanks is a shepherd who runs a family-owned farm in the eastern Lake District in Northern England, in the same valleys and fells that his family has farmed for over 600 years. He still farms "Herdwick sheep", while also running a consultancy based at his farm. As @herdyshepherd1 he tweets about his farm and his flock’s daily life, and has over 100,000 followers. He is the author of the acclaimed memoir, THE SHEPHERD’S LIFE, a Sunday Times #1, and a New York Times bestseller, which has been translated into 18 languages — not bad given Rebanks left school at 15, barely able to write. After dropping out of school James later graduated from Oxford University. James now advises Unesco on how to manage growing tourism in developing countries.
