AN ambitious and revolutionary approach to levelling up rural Britain can create jobs, boost green economic growth, increase exports and improve the wellbeing of the entire nation, a new report highlights.
Launched at the National Farmers Union’s virtual annual conference on Tuesday the report ‘Levelling up rural Britain’ highlights how British farming and rural Britain can provide the solution to many of the challenges the nation faces by driving sustainable food production and pioneering food policy that produces carbon neutral food.
In her speech NFU President Minette Batters said the report showcases how rural Britain is uniquely placed to help the recovery of the nation from Covid-19; delivering physical and mental health through the farmed landscape.
