There is immense value in nature friendly farming with benefits not just for the recovery of wildlife but also for our health.
There is a growing body of farmers leading the way in using innovative approaches to farming that produces food at the same time as restoring nature and allowing soils to recover. This has helped to create a window of opportunity to demonstrate the value of nature-friendly farming that will also help to increase biodiversity lost as a result of current farming practices.
What we want to achieve
- Impact goal
Sustainable and ethical food
- Long term outcomes
- The benefits, including health benefits, of sustainable farming are widely recognised
