I have not written a new blog for a few weeks - oops!
So, for those of you who delight in listening to podcasts, you might enjoy this instead...
Earlier this week, I was invited to join Rebekah Shields on the AgriCulture Live Podcast, where she asked me, "Are Cows Ruining the Planet". Have a listen to our conversation and see what you think! There are two alternative links below, and I think you could even find it on YouTube if you searched.
or for Spotify listeners:
Here is what Rebekah had to say:
Venture into the world of cows and climate with Owen, whose global perspective as a Nuffield Scholar unravels the historical significance of these gentle giants and their contentious role in today's environmental debates. We tackle the intricate balance of global warming and livestock, debunking myths while addressing genuine concerns about methane emissions. Owen's insights into regenerative agriculture offer a glimpse into the potential harmony between farming practices and ecological sustainability, challenging us to re-evaluate the narratives we've been told about agriculture's environmental footprint.
Wrapping up our enlightening discussion, we focus on improving cow welfare and the ongoing quest to attract fresh talent into the sacred art of farming. Owen's passion for the welfare of these creatures shines through as we contemplate innovative strategies for elevating their quality of life. Furthermore, we contemplate the regenerative agriculture movement's promise to rejuvenate the bond between land, farmer and society. This episode is not just a dialogue but a call to action, inviting listeners to witness the evolution of an industry and animals at the heart of human civilisation.
