From Cheryl Hillier, Cribyn, Dyfed, UK
Finally, an acknowledgement of the power of nature to absorb/build carbon – but will we allow it to? Growing in monocultures at the expense of everything else poses the greatest threat to biodiversity, food and water security and resilience to flood, fire and drought. If we stop and devote all farmland to sustainable practices, all food then has the potential to be healthy and grown in ways that sequester carbon, restoring biodiversity and health to the systems we rely upon. Rewilding and sustainable farming aren’t mutually exclusive, so why not do both?
