‘A Growing Movement’: Q&A with the Co-Founder of the World’s First Veganic Farming Summit

The article discusses the upcoming Veganic Summit, which focuses on organic plant-based farming that excludes the use of chemical fertilisers and animal byproducts. Coined in the 1940s and 50s, veganic farming uses plant-based fertilisers and aims to break the link between plant and animal agriculture, promoting sustainable and efficient agricultural practices. The summit aims to raise awareness about the benefits of veganic farming, with experts discussing techniques for growing food without animal inputs.

Veganic farming, which is still a small and growing movement, is primarily prevalent in the UK, Canada, the US, and Europe. It is closely related to regenerative agriculture, focusing on regenerating soil and biodiversity using veganic techniques. Additionally, veganic farming can contribute to rewilding by adding biodiversity settings on farms and using less land for food production, potentially freeing up space for wildlife. Overall, veganic farming offers a sustainable and ethical approach to agriculture that benefits the environment, human health, and animal welfare.
