In Iain's own words
“Stockfree farming goes beyond not using manure; it is about good land management, looking after the soil, and feeding more people from less land.”“We have demonstrated that stockfree works. It is more productive than many organic systems, it is more sustainable and uses far fewer energy inputs.”“I didn’t want animals on the farm, partly because I am vegetarian, and because producing animals and vegetables together is very challenging.”Where Iain works
