Nature-friendly farming in Cornwall
With farmland taking up three-quarters of all land in Cornwall, it will be impossible to halt the decline of wildlife, restore healthy ecosystems and achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions without supporting farmers to play their part. There are numerous examples of local farmers reducing pesticide and artificial fertiliser use, restoring soil health and making space for wildlife.
In this episode we explore the importance of nature-friendly farming and hear from a Cornwall Wildlife Trust farm advisor and a farmer she works with.
