SAOS 1: Farming's climate change challenge

Listen on

Episode notes

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. The co-op umbrella organisation SAOS say it is time to change that. They also want 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 is joined by:

Tim Bailey - SAOS chief executive
Emma Patterson Taylor - SAOS policy manager focused on climate change.
Angela Porchez of the fruit growers co-op Angus Growers
Jonny Williams from meat marketing co-op Farmstock
