with Graham Harvey

Tuesday 8 November – 7.30pm

There is evidence that today’s high-input cereals monoculture is part of a food system that’s the cause of much ill health in humans and animals. It is also proving to be an environmental disaster.

In this talk Graham will show how important it is to support farmers, and how small mixed farms with pasture fed animals could play a vital role in sequestering carbon (climate-proofing our food supply), stunningly improve our health as well as the health of our land, and how important it is to join the food revolution.

Graham Harvey, agricultural story editor of BBC Radio 4’s The Archers, was the first journalist to write of the dangers of using growth hormones on dairy cows.

He is author of The Killing of the Countryside, We Want Real Food, and The Carbon Fields. He is an articulate, effective and passionate campaigner.

He co-founded the Alternative Oxford Farming Conference under the motto: Good food for everyone forever.
