Episode 8: Nature vs. Food - Part 1

How we produce food around the world in the 21st century, is widely accused of being one of the main causes of climate change. Agriculture and nature are now seen as being at odds, and in the UK our government is putting pressure on farmers to change the way they operate and be more nature friendly. In some cases, this means ceasing to produce all together, planting trees or re-wilding previously productive land.

 

Do we have to make a choice between nature or food production?

 

I visited Woodend farm in Berwickshire to speak with regenerative farmers John and Louise Seed who share the ups and downs of their journey into a different farming approach, and their thoughts on the future of farming in the Borders. 

 

Thank you to John and Louise Seed of Woodend Farm, Berwickshire.
