Farming and Countryside Commission County Farms are vital to the future of farming, providing a route into agriculture for young and first-time farmers – yet over 16,000 acres of this publicly-owned land has been sold off since 2010. New research from NEF (New Economics Foundation), Shared Assets, Who Owns England and CPRE (Campaign to Protect Rural England) reveals what’s happened to our County Farms – and how they can be revitalised to become beacons of sustainable farming post-Brexit.
A panel discussion with Q&A, followed by breakout groups discussing proposed ways to help support County Farms, feeding back action points at the end.
