Agriculture has a major role in determining water availability and quality, especially in a region like Yorkshire where a large amount of catchment water moves over and through farmland.
In this episode, host Niki Roach visits the Biohub at Ings Farm near Harrogate to see a load of innovative farming practices being trialled. The aim is to increase biodiversity, enable sustainable and commercially viable food production and improve water quality, flood resilience and future water supplies.
Claire Green from Yorkshire Water is Niki's guest co-host to introduce the concept of the Biohub and place it in a strategic context.
On site at Biohub at Ings Farm, Niki Roach speaks to tenant farmer Dr Vincent Walsh plus Lisa Harrowsmith and Andrew Walker (both from Yorkshire Water)
