Our global food system, which relies heavily on factory farming, is wreaking havoc on our soil and our environment.

In this week’s episode, Philip Lymbery joins Evanna and Melanie to chat about his book "Sixty Harvests Left," in which he points out that if we don’t change our ways, factory farming will cause catastrophic climate change—and we could face a future without soil and, consequently, without food.

In this enlightening conversation, Philip, Evanna, and Melanie discuss how we can change course, emphasizing the role of individual choices, collective action, and the enduring power of hope for a brighter future for animals, people, and our planet.

Philip Lymbery is Global Chief Executive of the international farmed animal welfare organisation Compassion in World Farming.

He is Visiting Professor at the University of Winchester in the UK; a Leadership Fellow of St George’s House, Windsor Castle; Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics; and President of Eurogroup for Animals, a Brussels-based umbrella body of 80 leading animal welfare societies in Europe.

He was appointed a UN ambassadorial “Champion” for the 2021 Food Systems Summit in New York.

Lymbery is an animal advocate, naturalist, photographer, and author. He regularly writes and speaks internationally on animal ethics and the global effects of factory farming, including its impact on animal welfare, wildlife, soil and natural resources, biodiversity, and climate change.
