Countryfile's Adam Henson has hinted that he may not be the favourite person of one of his BBC colleagues. During an appearance on The Tweedl Pod with farmers Sam Harty and Rob Fenwick, Henson was asked if he had ever met Springwatch presenter Chris Packham, who is known for his strong opposition to industrial farming, which he believes is "choking the planet".Henson, on the other hand, operates a farm in Gloucestershire that he inherited from his father in the 1990s.
His 1,600-acre Bemborough Farm grows wheat, spring barley, and oilseed rape, and also houses a flock of commercial ewes and various farm animals.The farm also serves as the Cotswolds Farm Park, attracting 70,000 visitors annually.
In November, Packham criticised animal agriculture and industrial farming in an interview with Robert Peston, stating: "Animal agriculture is a significant contributor when it comes to climate breakdown. "And critically, animal agriculture is the leading driver of biodiversity loss everywhere in the world.
