Hamatethy Farm: Rewilding in Cornwall

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 30 сер 2023
  • At Hamatethy on the edge of Bodmin Moor in North Cornwall Yan Swiderski is rewilding 600 acres. The land is low stocked with a small, slow-growing, almost wild herd of Welsh Black cattle that eat only the abundant grass and forage here - 100% pasture fed, leading natural lives outside beyond thirty months old. Alongside these animals thrives a host of wildlife in the sky and the undergrowth. The presence and activity of the cattle here is helping to expand an existing breeding cuckoo range. White storks and voles are found here, barn owls and kestrels hunt small mammals in the long grass.

    Need all farms to be like this. Almost rewrite the rule book for farming. Some farmers will think I'm talking out of my hat but they are the one's that will be left behind, this has to be the future!!

    Wouldn't it be amazing if more farmers took the same rout as you guy. You plowed the road guys, you showed everyone the way. Bravo👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

    Fantastic!!!! Shame all farms can’t be like yours. More work needs to be done because the farming and agriculture sector are the leading causes to the biodiversity crisis.

    I love this, with every fibre of my being. However can someone please point me to a persuasive answer to "Well..where do we draw the line between re-wilding and our own food security"?

    This sounds amazing, and I am impressed when you imply the profits are better than originally made. From what you say, the sheep were a drain. Is this a model that can be applied across farming, or is it successful as a niche? Best of luck going forward!

    whilst i thouroughly thumbs up this principle , and its seemin popularity amongst agri land owners, WE, as in certiainly me,.. cant afford that organic food , cant see the wildlife cos we are stuck in a town scraping by on bloody food parcels. WHO buys this home produce? it aint brits

    They say specifically they are earning more profit using this method. Its not about the overall income- costs are so much lower in this method. No need for massive machinery costing 100s of k unlike modern tillage enterprises. I agree there may be a scale aspect to this but there is no question surely that people would feel better about the food they eat if it was grown more ethically

    Only problem I can see, with all the talk of reduced labour costs is what is going to happen to the people who used to work for them?

      If food requires less work you can spend less money on food if you have access to the land your labor goes into

    absolute nonsense, how much money have you plowed into the farm and how much are you losing every year? you are rich and can afford this most people cannot

    • @SWRural-fk2ub

      Yes, where the money came from to buy the farm and tide over the initial period was not explained. They both clearly have had an English Public School (thus privately purchased) education and I notice a lot of these rewilder owners seem to fit into this category of rich well-educated people being environmentally responsible (which I applaud, don't get me wrong) and it would be interesting to learn of their journey to this stage.
