About this deal

Priests known as druids led religious ceremonies. They sacrificed animals and sometimes humans too! The druids gave precious offerings, such as swords and cups, to the spirits. They buried the offerings in the ground or threw them into rivers, lakes and bogs. Following posts at Westminster, Kingston and Queen Charlotte’s hospitals, he was appointed professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the Royal Free hospital in 1976. Under his care Europe’s first test tube twins were born to Jo and Stuart Smith in 1982. This book is the English language version of The Hill Farmer, by the charismatic and popular Gareth Wyn Jones, the Welsh farmer from Llanfairfechan North Wales. Gareth first came to prominence on our TV screens during the severe weather in March 2013 when film maker Matthew Knight followed him around his hill farm while he rescued sheep and lambs buried in snow drifts and the footage was shown on national news channels. These were simple one-roomed homes with a pointed thatched roof and walls made from wattle and daub (a mixture of mud and twigs).

Gareth says his ambition is to bridge the gap between towns and the countryside. He believes getting the public to understand farming and food production would help sell produce. His was one of very few clinics to offer treatment with donor eggs to post-menopausal women, arguing that as long as they were fit and healthy there was no reason why they should not become mothers. They included Liz Buttle, the hill farmer from Wales who in 1997 gave birth to a son at 60 (though she had claimed to be 49 when she approached Craft). There was no subterfuge in the case of Lynn Bezant, who was 56 when she gave birth to twins in 2001 after treatment with donor eggs.There are different pools for each stage of the fish’s life.

Craft, who has died aged 81, was an innovative surgeon who achieved a number of firsts. His clinics saw the first successful birth of IVF twins in Europe in 1982, and Britain’s first triplets in 1984; he oversaw the first birth through transferring eggs and sperm to the uterus (1982), and later the first in Britain using gamete intrafallopian transfer, or GIFT (1986). His clinic was lined with photos of blissful couples holding babies, and in pursuit of that end result he pushed boundaries harder than most. In the late 80s he caused an outcry for using eggs from donors known to the prospective parents, something that is now common practice. Agriculture means farming, and it’s one of our most important industries, because farming involves rearing animals and growing crops for our food.Craft was born in Wanstead, east London, one of three sons of Reginald Craft, a Barclays Bank employee, and his wife, Lois (nee Logan), who also worked in the bank before her marriage. He grew up in Woodford, attending first St Mary’s Convent there and later Dame Alice Owen’s school for boys in Islington.

Around 800 BC people in Britain learned how to use iron . This discovery had a dramatic impact on everyday life. Iron tools made farming much easier than before and settlements grew in size . Since then Gareth has had two TV series of his own 'The Hill Farmer' and 'The Farmer and the Food chain' and appeared in countless other programmes including 'Come Dine with Me' and Snowdonia 1890. Garrulous, optimistic and boundlessly enthusiastic, he was hands-on in his approach, meeting couples and implanting embryos as one of the centre’s clinical team. In 2000 he fulfilled a long-held wish to become a country gentleman, buying a 125-acre estate with a Georgian mansion and working farm in north Devon, which he set about restoring with his customary energy while still directing the centre.The farmer and his family came to national prominence in the aftermath of the severe snowstorm which hit their farm in the Carneddau mountain range of north Wales in March 2013. Come and meet your local food producers! You can do your weekly shop and support local farmers and independent producers. He also achieved Europe’s first birth using a donor egg (1987), and the first using a frozen donor embryo (1990); and in the early 1990s he was the first in the country granted a licence to create embryos using direct injection of the sperm into the egg (intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI). He developed treatment with combinations of hormones and drugs that increased the number and quality of eggs that could be collected per cycle, also increasing the likelihood of successful births. The book is full of interesting anecdotes, some of them laugh out loud about farming life and the farm called Ty’n Llwyfan, in the Carneddau mountain range, Snowdonia where the author and his family have farmed for over 350 years. Gareth is a quite a reluctant celebrity who cares passionately about his family, the rural way of living, and farming.

Craft was something of a thorn in the side of the HFEA, speaking out against restricting the number of embryos implanted (to reduce the risk of multiple births), about time limits on the storage of frozen embryos, and about age limits on treatment.

Martin Lines, the chair of the Nature Friendly Farming Network, said Thursday’s announcement was positive but did not go far enough. “Individual actions on their own won’t achieve our climate and nature targets,” he said. “There remains the need for join-up between actions to avoid a piecemeal approach.” The early days of assisted reproduction were fraught with controversy, as media commentators and religious figures denigrated its practitioners for playing God or interfering with nature.Gareth Morgan, the head of farming policy at the Soil Association, added: “The government is failing to make clear how they will give farmers confidence to invest in the radical changes needed for a resilient and sustainable, agroecological farming sector. We are facing a climate emergency and ecological collapse – there are welcome elements in today’s announcement but we must stop tinkering around the edges.” special pens in a barn.
