That Nurse Who Asks Questions

What this country needs is a farming revolution.The UK needs to safeguard farmers because they play a vital role in producing food for the country and supporting the economy. Blaming them for environmental pollution is unjust, as many farmers have implemented sustainable practices and are working to reduce their impact on the environment. Additionally, many of the environmental problems facing the farming industry, such as climate change, are caused by factors outside of their control. By protecting and supporting farmers, the government can ensure a stable food supply and help mitigate the effects of environmental pollution.

In this episode, I speak with Gareth Wyn Jones, a farmer from North Wales, on why the country needs to invest more in agriculture. Gareth shares what he often talks about on Twitter, the disconnection between people and food, why livestock is now being blamed for the environment, and the importance of local, seasonal, and regenerative agriculture. He also talks about the amount of food going to waste in the country, the benefits of real food, and the effects of lifestyle on our health and agriculture.

Notable quotes:

● “It is not about eating meat. It is the quality of the meat and where it comes from that matters.”

● “Everybody has a journey in life. People turn to alcohol, people turn to cigarettes, and people turn to drugs. We all got our races. If you believe that not eating meat fits you, that’s okay, but don’t push misleading information.”

● “We are all custodians of this earth. We don’t own it. So, we have to leave it in a better state than we found.”

● “We can make a difference, but we must open a conversation and talk about the climate crisis.”

● “The waste in the country is unbelievable. One-third of the food we produce in this country is going to waste.”
