Adam Henson, presenter of BBC's Countryfile, has expressed concerns that Chris Packham, known for his critiques of industrial farming, might not approve of his farming practices. Henson, who operates a commercial farm in Gloucestershire, acknowledged Packham's intelligence and passion but said he wasn't sure if they shared common ground.
Countryfile's Adam Henson has hinted that he may not be the favourite person of one of his BBC colleagues.
The farm also serves as the Cotswolds Farm Park, attracting 70,000 visitors annually. In November, Packham criticised animal agriculture and industrial farming in an interview with Robert Peston, stating: "Animal agriculture is a significant contributor when it comes to climate breakdown. Despite this, Henson, 59, fears that his fellow BBC presenter may not be fond of him, although he insists he has "nothing against him" personally, reports Devon Live.
He commented: "I've met him a couple of times and he's an incredibly intelligent man, very vocal, sometimes single focussed, and there's been a programme about his Aspergers and how his mind works. And I'm not sure he's a great fan of me, I don't think he particularly likes people like me, but I've got nothing against him personally.
