We’re always looking for ways to work with nature, not against it. 🐄 That’s why at Mornacott, instead of housing our Ruby Red Devon cattle indoors this winter, we took a different approach—outwintering. Rather than relying on supplementary feed and machinery, our cattle stayed outside, grazing on standing forage—the natural vegetation that builds up in the fields. Farming is often seen as something that takes from the land—but when done right, it can give back just as much. This winter, we saw firsthand how a simple shift in approach can create real benefits: 🌱Stronger, healthier soil – Natural grazing improves the nutrient cycle and enhances soil structure, helping the land regenerate. 🐄 Healthier cattle – A natural diet of standing forage supports robust, thriving livestock. 🌍 Lower environmental impact – By reducing our reliance on harvested feed, plastic, and heavy machinery, we’re making meaningful progress in cutting our carbon footprint. As we move into spring, we’re eager to see the lasting impact of working with nature rather than against it. But this is just one of the many ways we’re working to restore landscapes, improve biodiversity, and rethink land management across our estates.

The Real Cost of Our Unhealthy Food Environment We live in an obesogenic world—where unhealthy food options are everywhere and our mental and physical health are taking a hit. But what if we could fight back, make better choices, and shift the burden off our healthcare system and our wallets? In last week's episode of The Shoot Room Sessions, Harriet Bell, Regenerative Farming Lead at Riverford Organic Farmers, dives deep into the powerful connection between our food, our health, and the environment. She shares eye-opening insights on how our broken food system contributes to the mental health crisis, rising obesity, and the strain on the NHS. But that's not all. Harriet's episode is a masterclass on regenerative agriculture, tackling everything from misleading food labels to the critical role of co-design in agricultural policy. Her journey—from aspiring political press secretary to championing resilient, climate-smart farming—is as inspiring as it is informative.

We Are Drowning, Starving, and Suffering—Why Aren’t We Acting? Last week, James Wallace, Chief Executive of River Action UK , delivers an unflinching reality check: “We are not a pleasant neighbour at all. We are not a loved nation. We are feared and disrespected—and we deserve it.” These are bold words, but James isn’t afraid to speak them. He calls out not just the environmental destruction we see in the headlines—floods, fires, famine—but the deeper crisis within our national soul. Britain has isolated itself, turned its back on those in need, and burned bridges with our closest neighbours. But what happens when it’s our turn to need help? This episode is about conservation and policy, but also reflects on who we are as a nation and who we want to become. It’s about reconnecting with our humanity, repairing our relationships, and healing the wounds we’ve inflicted on our planet and ourselves. Catch the full episode now to hear James Wallace's powerful story, his unapologetic honesty, and his inspiring call to action as he unveils the truth about our polluted rivers - and the fight to save them! Hope is not lost! ACTION is needed. Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eb2VYdbn Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/etzAdZCc
