Farm Diversification

Planning for success argues that the key to successful farm diversification schemes is not a relaxation of the planning system but sound business planning and the use of the distinctive qualities of its rural location.

Living landscapes

Hidden costs of managing the countryside

What does it cost to maintain England's beautiful, diverse farmed landscapes, and who does the work? A survey in May 2005 by the National Farmers' Union and CPRE has come up with a first estimate for the cost of the landscape management work undertaken by England's farmers. Our research findings are revealed in this new joint report, which makes a strong case for continued public support for farming in return for the work needed to maintain a beautiful countryside for the benefit of us all.
