Philip Lymbery: Sixty Harvests Left

This week, we’re eating to save the Planet with Philip Lymbery,
global CEO of Compassion in World Farming.


Philip is one of the most important campaigners against factory
farms where the animals whose meat most people eat are confined
and never see the light of day. He and Gilly have worked together
on his podcasts Stop the Machine and the Big Table and he’s
appeared on the delicious podcast and on Right2Food, the voice of
the Food Foundation in a bid to change the way we eat.


He’s painted an apocalyptic vision of its impact on the planet in
his books Farmageddon and Dead Zone: where the wild things
were.  In his latest book, Sixty Harvests Left, he
picks up the soil where the animals once grazed, naturally
fertilising the land and providing rich pickings for the bugs and
worms and shows us what our junk food culture has done to it..
But it’s not too late – not quite – if we change the way we think
about the food we buy everyday. Essential listening.
