Lake District Farmers
Transforming Tomorrow - A podcast by The Pentland Centre for Sustainability in Business - Luni
Join us as we start our journey looking at meat farming in the UK’s Lake District. As we explore how sustainable farming can be, we meet the Lake District Farmers (LDF). Jan and Paul travel to Ulverston – or Oolverston as Jan would have it – to meet LDF’s Phil Scott and find all about the organisation and its work with farmers across Cumbria. LDF work with a network of around 50 farmers to process and sell high-quality meat. But how does this network benefit the farmers? Why do top chefs want their products? Why are they working with Lancaster University – and how? And what are the challenges facing the Lake District’s fell farmers?
