On Friday, 16th September, we are delighted to welcome famed US author, environmental lawyer turned rancher, Nicolette Hahn Niman, to FarmED for a special event exploring how cattle can be good for the planet and the role of beef in a healthy balanced diet.
In advance of the event Jonty talked to Nicolette about her book, ‘Defending Beef’ and how, if managed well, cows can play an essential role in maintaining grassland ecosystems by performing the same functions as the natural herbivores that once roamed and grazed the planet. They can help build soil and lock in carbon as well as being an important part of our pastoral culture.
Hear how grass-based, smaller-scale farms can and should become the basis for a sustainable, regenerative, high welfare and nutrient rich food production system.
Remember….it’s not the cow, it’s the how!
Come and celebrate beef with us at FarmED on Friday, with a hearty and nutritious supper from the FarmED kitchen using organic pasture fed beef from a local regenerative farm. Vegetarian options will also be available.
*All those attending will get a complimentary copy of Defending Beef worth £14.99
