概要
 Recorded on 07/07/2026David Midgley was born in Newcastle on Tyne in 1953 into an academic family - both his parents were professional philosophers, and in a way he ended up going into the family business, as it were.At university David initially studied science and mathematics, but changed to philosophy and continued with three years’ postgraduate research at Oxford. In 1979 David moved to York to continue his philosophy studies, but in 1980 he became deeply involved in the European Nuclear Disarmament movement, and also began studying and practising Tibetan Buddhism.In 1988, needing to create income David moved to Leeds and started a business as a freelance computer consultant, and in 1995 started his own software company, which continued until 2003 when he decided to give up IT work and concentrate on his activist work, this time focussing on ecology and sustainable development. David then became coordinator of Sustainable Futures Leeds, and later Programme Director for Schumacher North, organising the Leeds Schumacher Lectures and Schumacher Conferences from 2006 until 2012.At the same time David continued his Buddhist studies and teaching. In 1996 David founded the Jamyang Buddhist Centre in Leeds, and was Director there until 2001, later becoming Deputy Director and a Trustee. David taught Buddhism at the Centre for 25 years, after which he trained to teach a secular Compassion Cultivation programme (created by the Dalai Lama’s translator with a team from Stanford University, where he was a Visiting Professor.)In 2024 David enrolled in a seven year full-time Masters Programme in Buddhist Studies at Nalanda Monastery in France; after one year he felt a strong call to return to climate activism, so returned to the UK to work on launching a Regeneration UK movement, based on emphasising the power of natural systems to regenerate themselves and draw down carbon from the atmosphere, instead of relying on technological solutions which run the risk of damaging the natural world in other ways.David is now working on launching a Regeneration Yorkshire project centred on transforming the food system in the region – there is huge potential in Yorkshire for a regional transition away from reliance on fossil fuels, agrochemicals and global food supply chains to locally based regenerative agriculture system that can supply our cities with the climate-and-nature-friendly, affordable and nutritious food we will need to survive and thrive through the twenty-first century.You can find out more about David’s work at:https://regenerationuk.substack.com/Want to be on Working Hours?
