FARMAGEDDON -- Farming with Nature
“Thinking about how we future-proof our farming.” Bickley Hall Farm, Cheshire is home to a grazing herd of cattle, who are kept naturally on permanent pasture. Other farmers are realising that not only does this system produce great food, it benefits wildlife, involves the local community and input costs such as fertiliser and feed are lower. Over a three-year period Philip Lymbery (CEO of Compassion in World Farming) has travelled the world bearing witness to the hidden cost of cheap meat and the devastating impact of factory farming – on people, animals and our planet. The findings of this journey are brought together for the very first time in Farmageddon (published by Bloomsbury). Farmageddon is now available to order online and in all good bookshops: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1408846446/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1408846446&linkCode=as2&tag=compinworlfar-21 Help us stop factory farming.

How surreal. This was how farming used to be and now it's farming of the "future". Plus these grazing herds are still going to be killed for meat, in a slaughterhouse, hung stunned, dangling, to die of exsanguinarionation (bleeding). This is not progress. I'm vegan and staying vegan, no dead on my account.

How is this a profitable way of farming? The stocking rate must be terrible. Also if we had more farmers like this we would never be able to meet the worlds food requirements. Sustainability is a great idea when you yourself have plenty to eat. What a joke.

We need more of these farms and farmers, I hope the movement in favour of sustainable and compassionate farming is increasing and people will take note of where their food comes from! I (and many others, I know) will seriously consider becoming vegetarian and even vegan if the only choice is meat from intensively reared animals - factory farms where the suffering of the animals is appalling! We want to see naturally and organically reared, grass fed animals that aren´t transported up and down the country before ending up in the super market!
