Lucy Jones

Writer and journalist Lucy Jones explains the healing powers of nature and the risks we face in leaving it behind.

Jones looks at the latest research that backs up our intuitive sense that we need to connect with the living world to maintain our health. Jones looks at cutting-edge biology, neuroscience and psychology and travels from forest schools in East London to Poland’s primeval woodlands to make her case for rediscovering the wild and saving ourselves and the planet from ecological grief.

Jones is a former journalist on NME and the Daily Telegraph. Her writing on culture, science and nature is published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, Guardian, TIME and the New Statesman. She is also author of Foxes Unearthed.

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.
