Wouldn’t it be great if we could keep land from falling into the hands of animal agriculture and just give it to wild animals instead? That is exactly what the U.K.’s Vegan Land Movement is doing, and Gina Bates is here to tell us how they are doing it and why you should do it too. Following art college and a career in design, Gina Bates left London for the far north of Scotland. In 2018 she bought the assignation for an 80-acre Highland croft along with 100+ acres of common grazing which will soon be reforested under a Native Forest Scheme. Named Highland Veganics, it’s being designed as the first vegan plant protein croft in crofting history. Gina is also one of the founders of Vegan Land Movement, a Community Interest Company that aims to buy areas of animal agricultural land to restore to nature. The aim is to also eventually transform some parcels of land to produce food veganically alongside creating wildlife and animal sanctuaries, raising awareness of complex ecosystems and working with nature rather than against it under the vegan principles of least harm.
