Cornwall's Climate Stories: Food for Thought

Should we all be giving up meat and dairy if we’re to have a hope of avoiding dangerous climate breakdown?
This film looks at the undeniable environmental impacts of modern animal agriculture as well as some of the Cornish initiatives underway to mitigate them - and also the role that some livestock systems could play in actually combating climate change.
Our next film, Hungry for Change, will look at other climate issues around food - from food waste and food miles, to how we could make ourselves more locally self sufficient.

[@nicolaablett7790]

Thank you so much for this informative and interesting insightful film
Government is too tied to greedy share holders such as shell and bp
Soil is our best hope
This really needs wide spread engagement
PEAT is an excellent example of storage

As a veg and grass only fed beef farmer I would love to know how to farm vegetables more regeneratively. I know Charles Dowding does it on a small scale but what can we do on larger scale?

[@CornwallClimateCare]

Hi Richard, sure you know Iain Tolhurst who farms about 20 acres with no chemical inputs or animals? www.tolhurstorganic.co.uk/
On a much larger scale, we understand that really huge growers like Riviera and Southern English have also made big changes over recent years - still using chemicals, but drastically less through companion planting, cover cropping, etc.

Great video and good topics covered. I have heard about using pea protein as a replacement for soya based protein.

[@wearewiveyxr]

Great film - real useful and positive, interesting and informative.

[@hayleyhill3860]

Really informative, though-provoking film. I love how you always incorporate solutions to the problems raised in all your films. I look forward to the next one.

Key point ...the stock love extra forage from trees and hedgerows therefore happier healthier animals which means healthy food. Animal welfare so important and less drugs. Can hardly bare to look at those pigs being kept in cages, APPALLING

Stopped watching after a few mins because the people represented in the doc. have failed to realise that CO2 is not the driver of any warming (or cooling) of the planet.

if you watch the rest you'll see they talk about methane and nitroxide being much more damaging
