George Monbiot in conversation: Can we feed the world without devouring the planet?

20 May 2020 - 17:30

Join us for this term’s second online Hertford Conversation with George Monbiot and Hertford Principal, Will Hutton.

George Monbiot is an author, Guardian columnist and environmental campaigner. His best-selling books include Feral: Searching for Enchantment on the Frontiers of Rewilding and Heat: How to Stop the Planet Burning; his latest is Out of the Wreckage: A New Politics for an Age of Crisis.

George co-wrote the concept album Breaking the Spell of Loneliness with musician Ewan McLennan and has made a number of viral videos. One of them, adapted from his 2013 TED talk, How Wolves Change Rivers, has been viewed on YouTube over 40 million times. Another, on Natural Climate Solutions, that he co-presented with Greta Thunberg, has been watched over 50 million times.

View the recording of the webinar below.
