Have you heard the latest SAOS on_farm podcast on Climate Change? 

17 December 2020

We’re delighted to feature in another great on_farm podcast from Scene & Herd PR, this time focusing on the climate change challenge facing agriculture as a whole.

All too often, farmers and food producers are portrayed as villains on climate change. While there is work to do, the industry's positive stories too often go untold. We at SAOS say it is time to get off the back foot and change that, and we plan to spearhead an industry-wide collaborative push to cut emissions and ramp up sequestration. For the first of a number of climate change episodes with SAOS, Anna Davies is joined by:

Tim Bailey - SAOS Chief Executive
Emma Patterson Taylor - SAOS’s lead on climate change and sustainability.
Angela Porchez of the fruit growers co-op, Angus Growers
Jonny Williams from meat marketing co-op Farm Stock
