Exeter Food Research Network are pleased to invite you to a talk by Jake Fiennes, Director of Conservation at the Holkham Estate, Norfolk and author of Land Healer: How Farming Can Save Britain’s Countryside.


Event details

Abstract

With so many demands on our rural landscapes, how do we balance the needs of ourselves with those of the natural environment. 70% of the country is in some form of agriculture, some productive, some less so. Change is paramount, but can we afford to wait? Will we be able to overcome the cultural and social aspects of land use change for the benefit of future generations?
