Controversially inspired by George Monbiot's 'Feral', Johnnie Balbirnie of the Nature Friendly Farming Network is working on a transition to agroecology and regenerative agriculture. Johnnie is committed to encouraging biodiverse hubs for wildlife on his land, continuing food production but recognising the benefit of cultivating nature around his crops. Looking back on older farm processes Johnnie realised local milk delivery (electric cart, recyclable bottles), diverse orchards and minimal mechanical farm tool use were all effective and sustainable, so he is working to reinstate these traditional practices.
