Farming in Past
Farming
Arable farming has changed enormously over the past 60 years and the size of arable farms has greatly increased, resulting in significant changes to the character of many of our landscapes
-
Two million fewer people can be fed their five a day from vegetables homegrown in England as prime farmland lost to development.
-
Food security concerns increase, with 60% of England’s finest agricultural land at the highest risk of flooding from climate change.
-
Nearly 300,000 homes have been built on prime farmland, with an extra 1,400 hectares used for renewable energy projects – despite more than enough previously developed brownfield land waiting for regeneration.
