In this episode of Do Something Bigger from the Carbon Copy Podcast, we’re exploring how farming and food production, done in the right way, can bring huge benefits for nature and climate. Join host Isabelle Sparrow and special guest co-host Kathryn Machin, Head of Community Engagement Campaigns at WWF UK to explore why involving farmers and food producers in conversations about nature and climate is so important. We speak to Martin Lines – an arable farmer from Cambridgeshire who is also CEO of the Nature Friendly Farming Network – to learn more about the ways the public can support farmers who are transitioning to more sustainable practices; and we hear from Stephanie McEvoy, who works with farmers and agri-food businesses in Northern Ireland to encourage peer-to-peer learning and more nature-focused ways of working. 

Listen to learn: 

• More about WWF UK’s work supporting farmers and sustainable agriculture. 
• What the Nature Friendly Farming Network does and how you can get involved. 
• Why peer-to-peer learning is particularly important for farmers. 
• What steps you can take (even if you’re not a farmer) to support nature-friendly farming practices.
