As expected, I was booed to the rafters at the #ORFC2020 (Oxford Real Farming Conference) yesterday. But I felt it was my duty to turn up and explain what I believe climate breakdown will do to farming, and why #farmfree foods are likely to be essential.
I've spent my working life telling people what they don't want to hear, so I'm accustomed to receptions like this. But I don't think shooting the messenger is going to help farmers understand and face what is coming.
In fairness, there was also a good amount of applause, and some people were definitely receptive. I'm grateful to the @ORFC for inviting me to speak.
