00:00This area of Gloucestershire grows fantastic beef, sheep, and produces fantastic milk and crops.
00:07So these guys are all geared up to produce meat to a very high standard.
00:12They can't flick a switch to suddenly go and grow plant-based products just because the local council thinks that everyone needs to be on a plant-based diet.
00:20They're all here because they're so passionate that their livestock has a future.
00:25And that's why they're all out here today protesting against this motion that potentially would have an impact on their livelihoods, their livestock, and the future of where they farm.
