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.
The agricultural age is ending. For most of humanity - and for the rest of the living planet - this is good news. Perhaps the best news we've had for centuries.

I discussed this extraordinary shift towards #Farmfree food with Charlotte Smith on Farming Today this morning. From 9'30": bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
Our food will be produced on a tiny fraction of the land.
Its environmental impacts will be much smaller.
Nature can recover, and carbon can be drawn down on a massive scale.
Food will be cheaper and better.
Its supply will be far more reliable.
Everyone can be fed.
