It's hard to escape the constant barrage of media and public negativity around farming and the environment. Most days we're bombarded with people telling us we're killing the planet.It's depressing and somewhat puzzling when you're standing in a field of grass surrounded by cows and you're told that you're doing more damage than the thousands of planes above you.The facts remain; just 5% of carbon emissions come from farming in developed nations like us, versus 80% from fossil fuel industries. However, sadly it's much easier to tell the consumer not to eat a burger than it is to criticise the multi-billion pound fossil fuel industry and tell people they shouldn't fly their family to Malaga on holiday his year.
