3LM are delighted to announce the next screening of
Growing Rich with Nature in Hexham the 25th of February 2025.
Growing Rich with Nature is presented by beef farmer Simon Hare, and shares his story of using the regenerative farming system at Trees House Farm. This is a farmer’s story of success, and the film charts Simon’s journey from managing a conventional dairy farm to a thriving regenerative beef farm. His journey offers a tangible and accessible route for farmers considering adopting regenerative farming practices on their own farm.
Simon’s experiences are framed by other professionals, who each offer perspectives on how regenerative farming nurtures human, animal and environmental health. These experts are Allan Savory (creator of Holistic Management), Christopher Cooke (Field Professional in Holistic Management), Gillian Butler (Senior Lecturer in Animal Science) and Mark Hopper (Technical Supervisor at CSX Carbon).
Farmers are important custodians of our natural environment with a little over 70% of the UK’s land being farmed. The current backdrop of the climate and ecological emergency requires a different approach to food production and this has led to growing momentum to implement regenerative farming practices. That is, ways of farming that support nature and ensure that nature, farmers and consumers thrive.
Growing Rich with Nature has been co-produced collaboratively over the past 18 months between artist Matt Denham, environmental activists Emma Casson, Issy Crocker, Grecko Indie Media, Cat McConnachie, Rachel Nixon and Kendra Ullyart, and farmer Simon Hare. The screening will take place at ADD VENUE NAME and the 30 minute film screening will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity to take part in a facilitated discussion with Christopher Cooke and others invested in regenerative farming.
