ACE Green Cafe presents Tom Heap, Presenter on BBC TV’s Countryfile, Radio 4’s new Rare Earth series and the anchor of The Climate Show on Sky News.
ACE and Limestone Books are delighted to welcome Tom to talk about his new book ‘Land Smart’ – his tour of the British countryside meeting the farmers, scientists, conservationists and others who are solving the most pressing challenges facing our countryside and the world.
We need land for so many of humanity’s growing needs, such as food, renewable energy, carbon storage and housing. Traditionally, we’ve stolen it from nature, but this has led to a mounting toll of extinction and pollution that is now punishing us. So, as there’s no land left to take, how do we get more from the same, or preferably less?
‘If we use land cleverly it can give both humanity and nature the space to thrive on just the one planet. If we do not, we’re in trouble’.
Come along and hear what this would mean for the Dales.
Saturday 13th July 2024 10.30 -12.30pm at St John’s Methodist Church, Settle. Admission Free. Fairtrade Refreshments available 10.30-11.00am.
