Farming and rewilding - a tale of two ecosystems! Plus, the Pork Environmental Roadmap

The AG Show team catch up with filmmaker James Dawson and one of the two farmers at the heart of his new film, Derek vs Derek. The documentary looks at what happens when two very different approaches to managing land meet - quite literally - on opposite sides of a Devon lane. James asks a simple but provocative question: What’s it like living next door to Britain’s most notorious rewilder? We hear from Derek Banbury, a dairy and beef farmer who’s had a front‑row seat to watching his neighbour, former sheep farmer Derek Gow, drastically change how his land is used by reintroducing endangered species as part of a major conservation project. The team also get into the Pork Environmental Roadmap, breaking down what it means and how it sets out a shared, evidence‑based plan to help drive environmental progress across the pork industry.
