How to Feed Britain without Killing the Countryside
Philip Lymbery and Graham Harvey
Saturday, 28 March 2020
10:00am
1 hour
Oxford Martin School: Lecture Theatre
£7 - £12.50
Event sponsored by
Chief executive of Compassion in World Farming Philip Lymbery and food and farming journalist Graham Harvey join forces to argue the case for radical change in the way we grow our food.
They argue that current industrial farming methods are destroying wildlife, hastening climate change, damaging soils, subjecting farm animals to inhumane conditions and ultimately harming ourselves. Our so-called ‘green revolution’ is not green at all thanks to chemicals and factory farms. Lymbery and Harvey say there is a productive and proven alternative ready to go. It will rebuild damaged soils, bring back wildlife and free farm animals from their inhumane conditions. It will also put nutrients back into foods that have been robbed of them by our present methods.
Lymbery is author of Farmageddon: The True Cost of Cheap Meat and chief executive of Compassion in World Farming. Harvey is author of The Killing of the Countryside and a food and farming journalist. He was agricultural story editor for The Archers for 20 years.
This event is part of a series under the banner Pasture to Plate® that look at the environmental and health benefits of raising food on pasture and getting it to the consumer quickly through a short supply chain.
