“FARMING THE LAND IN DEVON: LOOKING TO THE FUTURE”
CAPS – Upcoming talk with farmers and landowners 6th June
Here’s the press release:
Climate Awareness Partnership Sidmouth (CAPS) is a local group that engages with the residents of the Sid Valley on their carbon footprint to help them make informed choices in order to reduce it. Many people are very pleased to be able to find ways that they can contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
At the end of February CAPS hosted A Plant-Based Future: How and Why?, a talk which got a well-attended audience thinking and talking about how the food we eat contributes to climate change. Reflecting a wider trend in the country, people reported in their chat afterwards that they are eating less meat nowadays.
More and more countries are realising that they need to reform their food systems in order to lower their greenhouse gas emission commitments to meet net zero by 2050 – as well as enhance the biodiversity of the land they are responsible for. Therefore the topics of diet and land use have never been more relevant. To expand on the theme another talk will be hosted by CAPS on Thursday, 6th June, called Farming the Land in Devon: Looking to the Future.
This will highlight the challenges and barriers that farmers are facing in Devon as the climate changes. A panel of landowners and farmers will reflect on their personal experiences and history in the industry and explain how they are adapting now, along with what possibilities they see for the future.
The panel will include Katherine Gray from the Sid Valley, Henry Gent from outside Exeter and Haydn Dawkins from North Devon. There will be a good amount of time allocated for Q & A at then end. The talk will take place at 3pm in the Cellar Bar of Kennaway House. The event is open to all; there is a fee of £2-50 which also covers a drink and biscuit.
