Global population has exploded over the last 50 years, and with it, our demand for food production. This time-period has also seen a tremendous increase in acknowledgement of how we as the human race are impacting the global environment and the countless species that inhabit it. In today’s episode I sit down with Professor Ian Bateman OBE to discuss how modern farming and agricultural practices are impacting biodiversity across the globe. Despite numerous measures and policies initiated by world governments, Professor Bateman outlines to me how such measures have not been as effective as we might have expected and how they must change if we want to preserve biodiversity on our planet.
