Silent Spring

Silent Spring 60 years, celebrating the legacies of Rachel Carson and the biodynamic farmers who informed the writing of Silent Spring, the ground-breaking book which raised global awareness of the dangers of pesticides, leading to the rise of the modern environmental movement, the global celebration of Earth Day, the DDT ban that saved endangered species, and the creation of agencies for the protection of the environment and human health.

Talks, workshops and exhibitions will explore the significance of Rachel Carson’s enduring work in connection with regenerative agriculture and the future of UK food and farming..
