(Contact the author)Abstract
Four speakers took part in the OFC Oxford Union Debate with the motion: "This house believes that farming for food is holding back nature recovery in protected landscapes”. Ben Goldsmith, Chair of the Conservative Environment Network and Sarah Dickins, Sustainable Economics Adviser proposed the motion and Will Cockbain, a Lake District farmer, and Julia Aglionby, Professor in Practice at the University of Cumbria, opposed the motion. Julia made the case that while there is much more to do to enhance nature in our protected areas - and across the other 76% of England - it is the failure of government policy that is holding back nature recovery not 'a drive' for food production.
