About this event
Rathbones and Greenbank are delighted to partner with 5x15 for The Earth Convention 2025, a three-part series featuring celebrated speakers and offering insights into the urgent issues facing our changing world.
The third and final session of the 2025 series will focus on 'Land and Soil', and features bestselling author and leading conservationist Isabella Tree, author of Otherlands, a bestselling, monumental history of life on earth, Thomas Halliday, the former president of the National Farmers' Union, Minette Batters, and conservationist and acclaimed author of Our Oaken Bones, Merlin Hanbury-Tenison.
What can we learn from the distant past about the possible future for our land and soil? How can we nourish our soil and reground our societies?
The importance of restoring biodiversity, and preventing further losses, is not in question. Nor is the need to feed the 8 billion humans living on our planet. But can the answers be found in regenerative agriculture or rewilding? Grass-fed beef or vat-grown proteins?
Featuring a line-up of expert writers, thinkers and practitioners, and hosted by 5x15 co-founder Rosie Boycott, this panel addresses the importance of understanding the past and finding solutions and innovations for the future.
