The future of farming lies in Social Sustainability

A View from the Farm: Adam Henson

Hardly anyone had heard of sustainable farming 30 years ago. In just three decades, sustainability has become a major issue, the focus of endless debate, the spur for innovative ideas and soon it will be at the heart of how farmers in England are supported now that EU payments have ended.

I’m a second-generation tenant farmer, high on the Cotswold hills. Farming practices and attitudes have changed hugely since my Dad came here in the early 1960s. But I’m proud to say that we were early converts to the idea of crops and conservation working side by side. One area of the farm was designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1996. The unimproved limestone grassland and scrub is home to two rare species: the Cotswold pennycress (a delicate whiteflowering plant) and the Duke of Burgundy butterfly.

Foot and mouth devastated rural Britain. It could happen again

When the new year is welcomed in, we hope for good fortune in the months that lie ahead. But 25 years ago, right across the British countryside, good fortune was nowhere to be seen. Instead, 2001 was to be one of the blackest years ever, as an unexpected epidemic of foot and mouth disease swept the land.

Permissive paths are a precarious privilege we shouldn't abuse

I've always loved a 'permissive path' - a route across private land that the owner, manager or tenant has decided voluntarily to open to all. It's always seemed like the nicest of invitations. A surprise, a welcome, a generous act, as well as an implied pact between walker and landowner: here is a safe route to use, responsibly. The direct opposite of “get off my land”, it is the action of a farmer or land manager interested in and part of their wider community.
