Such a drastic shift in the food industry has the potential to make way for environmental restoration – with Monbiot advocating the rewilding of vast areas of farmland across the UK – but the programme was severely lacking in consideration of the enormous damage this would inflict on farmer livelihoods, the economy and overall food security. There was a heavy focus on disruptive innovations with very ambitious roll-out and commercialisation timelines – with Monbiot claiming that proteins grown in labs by brewing microbes through precision fermentation will be around 10 times cheaper than animal protein as early as 2035. Overall I agree with most of the content of Apocalypse Cow. Jacob Nickles, Project Manager and Knowledge Exchange Associate at the Institute for Sustainable Food discusses Channel 4 documentary Apocalypse Cow, in which environmental campaigner George Monbiot argues that the biggest problem driving us towards global disaster is how we farm – and particularly how we farm animals.
