Episode 151

This week on Let’s Go Green with Aisling O’Rourke on Midlands 103, we’re exploring the powerful links between health, transport and nature-friendly farming. Dr Caoimhe Clarke of the Climate and Health Alliance and Irish Doctors for the Environment joins me to discuss their new report, Active Travel: The Magic Pill. We talk about the wide-reaching health benefits of walking, cycling and reducing our reliance on cars—and why active travel should be seen as essential public health policy, not just a transport option. Margaret Edgill of Mount Briscoe Farm also joins me to talk about her work as a regenerative farmer and her recent recognition as a Farming for Nature Ambassador. We discuss how nature orientated farming supports biodiversity, builds resilience and reconnects communities with the land.
