Sophie Bennett
Sophie writes the health and nutrition explainers. Her editorial focus includes nutrients, dietary patterns, energy metabolism, hydration, supplements, sports nutrition and the interpretation of health research for general readers.
She approaches health content by separating established evidence from preliminary findings and by making study limitations clear. Health-related material requiring clinical interpretation should be checked by an appropriately qualified medical reviewer before publication and updated when important new evidence or guidance becomes available.

Who checks their work
Harriet Colbeck — author
Harriet Colbeck is an agriculture writer with a background in agricultural science and a master’s-level focus on soil science. Her earlier work involved preparing field-trial summaries and farmer-facing guidance on soil management, translating research findings into clear, practical information for agricultural audiences. At Cabdirect, Harriet covers regenerative farming, soil organic matter, cover crops, reduced tillage and nutrient management. Her articles explain what field studies measured, how long the trials ran and how far the findings can reasonably be applied to farms with different soils, climates and production systems. Her articles carry her name and stated role, with figures from field trials and soil surveys accompanied by their source and date. Claims and data are checked against traceable sources, and any corrections are dated and remain visible in the article.
