Farmageddon – The True Cost of Cheap Meat with Philip Lymbery

Farmageddon is an eye opening and ground-breaking examination of the quiet revolution of mega-farming that is threatening our countryside, farms and food. Acclaimed campaigner Philip Lymbery and the Sunday Times’  Political Editor Isabel Oakenshott travelled the Globe on a fascinating and terrifying investigative journey behind the closed doors of a runaway industry from the UK, Europe and the USA, to China, Argentina, Peru and Mexico. Supported by shocking statistics, Farmageddon reveals the human cost of mega-farming and is both a wake-up call to change our current food production and eating practices and an attempt to find a way to a better farming future.

Philip Lymbery is the CEO of leading international farm animal welfare organization, Compassion in World Farming and a prominent commentator on the effects of industrial farming. Under his leadership, Compassion’s prestigious awards have included Observer Ethical Award for Campaigner of the Year and BBC Radio 4 Food and Farming awards for Best Campaigner and Educator.
