[QUOTE="P Simmonds, post: 8248803, member: 171053"] Thanks for your comment and the good wishes, I appreciate you taking the time to respond. From my research so far I've heard a lot of similar sentiments regarding the blame being laid on livestock farmers. However, I would suggest that livestock farmers do hold a range of views on the topic- from those promoting agroecology and regenerative agriculture, to folks keen on sustainable intensification, to those that favour a productivist approach. I'm happy to be corrected on this as I learn more. My current understanding is that "livestock farmers" are a broad church encompassing a range of different approaches and mindsets (on all topics, not just sustainability!). This is partly why research is needed to explore the nuance behind these polarising topics- and communicate this to folks across the rural-urban spectrum. Feel free to write to me if you'd like to discuss further- I'm also interviewing farmers in the South Downs so if you're based near there I'd be delighted to visit you. I've limited my fieldwork to two "case study" areas- both to include a range of farms types, and to reduce emissions from travel. [/QUOTE]
