This episode is produced in association with the Vegan Organic Network. It was recorded at VegFestUK on the 23rd March 2019.

Iain Tolhurst is a pioneer of what he terms Stock-free Farming; that is farming which uses no animal inputs. Based in South Oxfordshire, Iain talks about the history of his growing operation plus shares some unique practices he employs to maximise crops whilst making the farm a haven for biodiversity. He also gives figures about produce yields and carbon output of his farm, which are fascinating (and encouraging, for anyone considering this method of farming).

With thanks to Iain Tolhurst and The Vegan organic Network for allowing me to part of such a great day.
