In this episode, you’ll hear highlights from our recent “in conversation” event with Tom Heap where he and our executive director Shaun Spiers discussed his latest book “Land Smart: how to give people and nature the space to thrive”.
This book examines why we need land and how to give both humanity and nature the space to thrive, and includes conversations with farmers, scientists, conservationists and even warehouse managers who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside and the world.
During the discussion, Tom and Shaun touch on topics like:
- Energy, particularly the attraction of solar, including rooftop solar, and the indefensibility of biofuels
- Farming.
- The importance of not offshoring the UK’s environmental footprint.
- Technophilia and openness to genetic engineering is an interesting challenge to some green thinking
- Diet change
The discussion then concludes with an audience Q&A.
