-..when people stop eating meat -or any dairy products in January. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:09 | |
-This year, -150,000 have agreed to do this. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
-In recent years, people have become -more aware of what they eat. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:19 | |
-The latest trend is to avoid -eating meat and dairy products. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:25 | |
-Why are we highlighting this -on Ffermio? | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
-Simply, it's an increasing trend -and we need to work out why. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:33 | |
-According to one review... | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
-..last year half a million people -followed a vegan diet. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-That's a rise of 360% in ten years, -an astonishing rise. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:46 | |
-Why are people -turning their backs on farm produce? | 0:01:46 | 0:01:50 | |
-According to the Vegan society... | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
-..there's been a huge rise -in the sale of vegan food. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-In Bangor, Llyr Alun Jones -works in Kyffin cafe deli... | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
-..where they sell only vegetarian -and vegan dishes. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-The owners decided to open -a vegetarian cafe 11 years ago. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
-They don't support the industrial -farming of animals. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:18 | |
-Over the 11 years, our menus -have featured more vegan dishes. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
-Our customers have asked -for more vegan dishes. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
-Why are people eating -more vegan food? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-It has something to do with -the cruelty of the meat industry. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:36 | |
-There are also health benefits. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
-Matthew Wilkinson -follows a vegan diet. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
-Originally from Cardiff, -he now lives in Bridgend. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
-I became a vegan six months ago. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
-I wasn't eating well at the time, -I was eating too much meat... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
-..I was heavier than I am now. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
-I now realise it's healthier, -better for the environment... | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-..and better for the animals. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:01 | |
-I've read a lot over the past few -years about what happens to animals. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:07 | |
-I've watched behind the scenes -footage from factory farms. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
-I've seen how animals live -before they are killed. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
-I didn't want to eat -something like that. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:21 | |
-I don't think it's the right way -to treat animals. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
-That's something that's led -to people becoming vegans. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
-A lot of people eat meat -during every meal. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
-That'll cause -environmental damage eventually. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
-In terms of how much land is needed -to fed a vegan for a year... | 0:03:37 | 0:03:41 | |
-..it's not much when compared -to people who eat meat. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
-You have to grow crops -to feed the animals. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:51 | |
-That requires a lot of water. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
-For a person, only a little water -is needed to grow the crops. | 0:03:53 | 0:04:00 | |
-It's a lot simpler. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
-People turn their backs on meat -and dairy products for many reasons. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:07 | |
-Health, the environment -and animal welfare. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-What is striking -is how much of an impact... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-..this small percentage receives -on social media. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-Alun has been asking -if more education is needed... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
-..to promote farming produce -better... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:25 | |
-..and ensure that people realise -the importance of a farmer's role. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
-Here are some examples of -the material on social media sites. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
-The pictures have been designed -to appeal to the emotions. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
-The facts are often blurred... | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
-..but the campaigns -are influential and effective. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
-What is the response in the mart -and town of Carmarthen? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
-It's very unfair. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
-The standards for livestock hygiene -in this country are second to none. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:11 | |
-We have farm insurance -every 18 months. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-If you don't pass that, you're -not allowed to sell milk or beef. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:19 | |
-I've seen a lot of them on the -internet, on Twitter and Facebook. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
-I think our unions and the industry -should fight back. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-A lot of things we see -on the internet are fake... | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-..they're blatant lies. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:35 | |
-We should be fighting back. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:39 | |
-This is very underhanded. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
-They're very good in their marketing -to get their point over. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
-They're campaigning to get people -to be the same as them. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
-We're outside for hours at a time, -morning, noon and night... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-..making sure the animals -get the best care and attention. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
-They put one picture on Facebook -or on the London tube... | 0:06:00 | 0:06:03 | |
-..and all our good work -is cast aside. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:07 | |
-The truth is very different. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
-Is there a way farmers -can portray their lives... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-..in a way that corrects -misrepresentations and calms fears? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-The market development manager -for Meat Promotion Wales... | 0:06:23 | 0:06:27 | |
-..is Rhys Llywelyn. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-We must be more confident about the -messages we're putting out there. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-The vegans only have two arguments - -health and the environment. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:41 | |
-You need red meat in your diet -if you want complete protein. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
-Beans and pulses -won't provide those proteins. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
-For zinc and iron... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-..it's important to have red meat -as part of your diet. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
-In terms of the environment... | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
-..there's been discussion about -the ethical choice to become vegan. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
-Farming in Wales -doesn't harm the environment. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Can farmers do more -to promote their produce? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
-I've attended meetings in this area -where farmers have told me... | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
-..we produce it, you sell it. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
-Once it's gone -through the farm gates... | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-..they're not worried about it. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
-There is room for farmers -to do more. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:32 | |
-We're grateful -for a lot of the work farmers do... | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |
-..but they can do some things -in partnership with us... | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-..to ensure that this message... | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
-..the message that everyone is aware -of, is shared across the world. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:50 | |
-One farmer who often tweets -about his life on the farm... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-..is Sion Powell from Corwen. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-I heard about Twitter -on the news first. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-I went on it to see -what people were talking about. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:05 | |
-How much of a response do you get... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
-..and does that response come -from the general public? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-About 90% comes from other farmers. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-We take more of an interest in each -other than the general public does. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Should this be used for the purpose -of promoting agriculture? | 0:08:19 | 0:08:26 | |
-There are many possibilities. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
-Many people use it -and messages can be shared easily. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-You must be careful. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
-Februdairy is about to begin -to promote the dairy industry. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:40 | |
-The campaign has already -been hijacked by vegans. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
-We see ten tweets from vegans -to every one tweet from a farmer. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:50 | |
-Our voice is being silenced already. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
-What can we do about that? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
-It's hard to know. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-The easiest thing -would be to say nothing... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-..but people don't hear -our story then. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
-The more people who share -their story, the better. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:08 | |
-If you want to join -the discussion... | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-..use the hashtag #Ffermio | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-People are free to eat -what they want... | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
-..but the industry can't sit back -without facing these challenges. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:26 | |
-Constructive answers are need -to ensure success in the future. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:31 | |
-It's time for a break. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
-Join us in part two -when we cross the Severn Bridge... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-..to see a new beef system. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
-. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:42 | |

-The line between profit and loss -is very fine in the beef sector. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
-Price, supply and demand -can fluctuate greatly. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:59 | |
-Today, I've crossed Offa's Dyke -to see a pioneering system... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:04 | |
-..the first of its kind -in the United Kingdom. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:08 | |
-Here, on Winterwell Farm, -Somerset... | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
-..Rob Drysdale has established -an integrated beef enterprise... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:17 | |
-..to produce more meat -using the latest technology. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-One man who helped him -through the design stage... | 0:10:21 | 0:10:25 | |
-..is expert Tom Allison -from Pembrokeshire. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-In contrast to many other beef farms -I've visited... | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
-..the farmer has invested greatly -in technology. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
-We can see a lot of the technology, -the fans and the light... | 0:10:37 | 0:10:42 | |
-..instruments to measure -the temperature of the cattle. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
-We've seen those on dairy farms -before but not on beef farms. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-How do you think the technology -helps on the farm? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-We can switch lights -on for one end or both ends. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-We can use the fans on different -temperatures and humidity... | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
-..just to see the effect it has -on the cattle and their output. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-Which weight and grade -they're slaughtered out... | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-..and that will feed back -into the system. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
-Light affects the performance -of cattle. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
-Dairy cows definitely. No research -has been made into beef cattle. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:20 | |
-This will be the first farm -to do any research into that. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-We're trying to determine -the effect... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
-..of giving the same amount of light -to beef cattle. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-Will it increase -their dry matter intake or not? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
-That's what we're hoping -to discover. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-What else do you have here -in terms of technology? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-These large fans -blow the air down... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
-..and other fans blow the air -into the building. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:47 | |
-We also measure humidity. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-We can measure ammonia, methane -and carbon dioxide in the air... | 0:11:50 | 0:11:57 | |
-..to help the research work -that's carried out here. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-The aerating and lighting system -encourages cattle to eat more... | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
-..of the right kind of food -to help them gain weight. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:09 | |
-Other devices and instruments -help the system work properly. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
-How complex is the system -from day to day? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
-Technology is developing every day. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-We have a computer doing all the -mathematical work for the farmer. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
-It measures the temperature -and it adjusts the fans. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
-It measures the humidity, -we can create alerts and reports. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
-It's a simple system, we can access -it by phone, computer or iPad. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:44 | |
-We can access it around the world. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:46 | |
-I can easily access a system -in Slovakia or America right now. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-The mixer wagon is very unique. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-It's the first mixer wagon -of its kind in this country. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-It's self-propelled. -It loads itself. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-It has an NIR sensor which measures -the quality of the food. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
-It can make changes to the ration -as the machine is being loaded. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-The fever tags are vey interesting. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:15 | |
-I think that's a good example -of a simple technology. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-The farmer only has to attach -the tag to the animal's ear. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
-There's no computer. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
-A light shines -if the animal's temperature rises... | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-..over a certain level -for a number of hours. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-Rob Drysdale runs this farm. -He was a vet for over 20 years. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-He completed a Nuffield Scholarship -on integrated beef systems. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
-He's learnt from his experiences... | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-..and is now operating -his own system. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
-I realised, as I was travelling and -working, that a lot of UK farmers... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:56 | |
-..are very efficient at what they do -but weren't doing it in scale. | 0:13:56 | 0:14:00 | |
-We produce great beef -but not enough. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
-The country's not self-sufficient -for beef. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
-We need more beef. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:10 | |
-If we can find a way -of taking dairy beef... | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
-..and producing consistent quality -beef, we have to do it better. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
-We're looking at batch management -and integration. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-We're working with big dairy farms -in Wales and across the country... | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
-..to produce the right stock -that we can take on and grow. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
-We're investing in the genetics. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:34 | |
-What it means to be a farmer -is changing. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
-What we've seen here today, -Rob, as a vet... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
-..he farms the very best. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
-He uses technology as a device -to achieve his aims. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:51 | |
-He's installed the lights -and the fans. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
-Rob can look -at the whole food chain. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-He can look at the suppliers, the -men rearing and breeding stock... | 0:14:57 | 0:15:02 | |
-..and he also looks -at the customer's needs. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
-What people like Jamie Oliver -and the supermarkets want. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:10 | |
-Rob's made a major investment. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-Do you think it's a wise investment? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-I've spoken to Rob and he's invested -200,000 so far on this site. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:24 | |
-As he said, we'll have to return -in five years' time to find out. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
-I'm confident -it will be a wise investment. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:35 | |
-He's worked on his budget. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-The business is hitting -its budget targets now. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |
-I think the technology -we've provided will improve... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
-..as will the technology -other companies have installed. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
-I'm sure and confident -it will turn out well for him. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-Rob has issued young farmers -in Wales with a challenge. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-Tell us more about that. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
