Farmageddon at the Off the Shelf Festival

offtheshelfFarmageddon is an eye opening 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 an investigative journey behind the closed doors of a runaway industry from the UK to China, USA to 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.
‘This eye-opening book, urging a massive rethink of how we raise livestock and how we feed the world, deserves global recognition’ Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
