Farming needs urgent global shift – not pilots

-

I’m happy to read about the rewilding pilot projects in England. (Spotlight, 9 September).

Though the article does not mention these things, I assume the scheme plans to practise agricultur­e that sequesters carbon, to change the role of domestic animals and to consider reintroduc­tion of large predators.

Considerin­g the urgency of climate change mitigation, it may be wise not to spend too long on pilots. This shift in agricultur­e must be global. Edward Butterwort­h Victoria, BC, Canada
