Low Stress Cattle Handling
The Background
Worthy Earth was started as a small market garden on my family farm in Hampshire by two brothers and their friend - Harrison Fannon, Lawrence Fannon and Cody Moir. They have since grown it to 6 or more sites around the country, I lose count, and a wonderful festival just up the road from me. When they started the market garden on my family’s cattle farm, they were all vegans and I had just started the carnivore diet, but we came together over our shared love of animals and the ecosystem upon which we all depend. We respected each other and our different opinions. We didn’t need to tell each other what to eat.
The Talk
I delivered a talk online to the Oxford Climate Action Network and Oxford Climate Society explaining how ecosystems function, how we can measure that and why cattle are the best tool to regenerate those ecosystems.
