Do you think farming is important to the local community and how?

Share your experiences around the interactions you have had with local farmers, farm shops, or people working in the agricultural sector.

Undoubtedly TV shows in recent years such as ‘Clarksons Farm’ have raised the profile of farming. Like him or not, Jeremy has been extremely successful in highlighting the issues affecting all UK farmers. Small farms are adversely affected by such issues with second, and third jobs having to be taken on by farmers just to survive and keep the farming business viable

Farms don’t just produce livestock and food. They provide employment, education, and a link to nature and the natural world around us.

In summary…

Why not reach out to your local farmers. Whether you work in education, have children, or just have a genuine interest. Find out what they farm, how they farm and why? Learn about the environmental factors and government policy that are shaping the farming landscape going forward and the benefits it will bring for everyone.
