From the field

Hi

Dr T. Colin Cambell is talking about diets with a certain guy. In his opinion plant-based diets are better. He says that many times he has been attacked for his viewpoint, but he never gave up.

He said: We have to go in this direction, because now we have enough evidence from the laboratory, from the field, and even from certain philosophical and environmental resource perspectives. We have enough evidence now to demonstrate it. I have taken my hits and I am sure you have too, some of them pretty serious. But I keep trying to look past them, because this is a story worth telling.

What does he mean by saying "from the field"?

By the way, if it's just said: "from certain philosophical and environmental perspectives" (without the word "resource"), would it change the meaning?

Thanks

The field refers to all the work being done, especially in the laboratories. I think the word resource is not necessary here, but it refers to all the information gathered.
