This leaves farmers such as me feeling a grave sense of injustice. My cows and sheep graze on pasture which is unsuitable for growing crops. As Graham Harvey established in his book, ‘The Carbon Fields’ grazing permanent pasture with ruminants is actually an overall carbon ‘sink’ because of the vast root structure below ground which takes up carbon efficiently when they are grazed hard. And if there were no animals on this land it would revert to brambles and bracken and the landscape would be destroyed.
