Andy Cato, Philip Lymbery and Deborah Meaden talk to Sean Fletcher

The Future of Farming

 – Meadow Stage

How can our agricultural systems adjust to the changing needs of people and planet? The challenges range from rising energy costs and labour shortages to extreme weather events, but a high level of consumer trust, investment in agritech and a shift towards regenerative practices promise hope for the industry. Our panel of experts explores what the future of farming looks like, and how we can serve people’s needs while protecting the natural environment.

Andy Cato, co-founder of Wildfarmed, a Grammy-nominated musician and one half of Groove Armada; Philip Lymbery, global CEO of Compassion in World Farming International; and Deborah Meaden, business leader and fellow of the WWF, speak to journalist and Countryfile presenter Sean Fletcher.
