    At the start of November 2024 we spoke to Christine Gregory, an artist, writer and photographer who has written several books about the people and wildlife of the Peak District. She spoke to us about the impact of intensive livestock farming on river habitat and the steps that can be taken to restore it.The final part of our conversation is about the challenges faced by farmers and how land managers of every sort need to work together towards a better future for both people and the environment.

    In September 2024 we visited Oncote in the Staffordshire Moorlands to hear about John Stone’s dairy farm and Dawn Hind's passion for environmental education. From grazing riparian habitat (riverbanks), to government grants, our conversation takes us through some of the challenges dairy farms face today. We also discuss the lack of teaching in schools around where our food comes from and asked if supermarkets should do more to help the environment.
