UK farmer James Mills left agriculture for a career in politics, working in Parliament, the NFU, and Brussels. But with Brexit looming, he returned to the family farm—an emotional homecoming. When a proposed inheritance tax threatened farms, James rallied 40,000 farmers in a peaceful protest at Westminster. Joining the Global Farmer Network in 2025, his story reflects the power of choice, legacy, and farmer-led advocacy as the GFN celebrates 25 years.
