Here’s a bit of my sheep wrecked national park I’m proud to call home, Eryri (Snowdonia) and also proud to work with the fantastic conservation team they have working there.
Happy to show you how wrong you are in your comments if you can make the time?

It's adding to the 20 existing trees with 150 trees and 1200 hedge plants. That should be 8100kg of CO2 out of the atmosphere in one field without compromising its food production ability.
Project nearly done (just reseed left): 7 acre field split back into two, one unproductive acre taken out for nature. Could not have done the planting without my helpers...

Hi
@GeorgeMonbiot
here’s some proof in the pudding (data you always want) of what we do as livestock farmers is totally the opposite to your claims. You’d be welcome to come have a look.
We have made a terrible mistake about the food we eat, fetishising the most damaging products of all. My article, explaining the numbers.

On my daily pilgrimage to check stock on the hill I see a huge interest in coming to see Capel Celyn re-emerging.
Some that lost their homes to the flooding of the valley still won’t go there to see it as it brings back memories of what they lost.

You don’t need to be super wealthy to buy a few acres and a farmhouse in the hills. This new business (which is not mine) is simply an estate agency for people of varying means who wish to play their part, exploring new land use models and restoring nature.

So ‘livestock’ farming will come to an end and we will be fuelled by supplements to replace what we naturally get from meat and dairy. A synthetic future that will damage our precious 🌍 a future not really worth looking forward to thanks to the likes of George 🤷♂️
On Wednesday (January 8th), our film
#ApocalypseCow
airs on Channel 4. It proposes that, after 12,000 years, farming will more or less come to an end within a few decades. It argues that this shift comes in the nick of time: it's great news for humanity and the living planet.
