Following in his father’s footsteps, 27-year-old Alex Lyttle fills a pivotal role in the family vegetable farming business in Northern Ireland, helping to manage field preparations, crop planting, harvest and produce sales. On top of that, this young farmer decided to take on the task of managing a nearby 500kW AD plant
