Henry was an early adopter to organic farming methods and being a botanist and practical farmer tried and tested many innovative ways to farm successfully without the use of artificial fertiliser and chemicals. His deep understanding of the relationship between the health of the soil, the health of the plant or animal and the health of people, lead to his wife and business partner, Sally Bagenal, setting up OMSCo, which drove the conversion of hundreds of farmers to organic methods and headed up with campaign to make organic mainstream.
Recently, Henry has returned to Kenya to live, This is where he was born and where his father and mother worked as veterinary practitioners in his youth. His aim is to support the growth of sustainable farming in the region and help large and small farmers reap the benefit of organic practices and by working with expert colleagues from around the world find export markets for high quality product.
