Edward ('Teddy') Goldsmith (b. 1928) is an Anglo-French environmentalist.
Goldsmith is particularly well known for his anti-industrial , rural beliefs. He calls for conservation and organic farming. He represents a Romantic strain in the green movement that nostalgically looks back to a world before the Industrial Revolution.
Goldsmith's variant of environmentalism has put him at odds with the left-wing British Green Party but has won him support among members of the Old Right.
