Have a project idea or want to learn more? – Webinar 17 June 6.30-8.30 pm
- How are farmers in the North East planning for converging pressures and future uncertainty (COVID impact on commodities; climate; input supply disruption; land costs; compliance;)?
- How can we better show the public value generated by good practice (e.g regenerating soil) and build support among eaters and others to pay for it?
- What are the opportunities in short and direct supply chains? What models are out there? What are the barriers?
- How might we build on local strengths and energy to generate ideas or generate support around existing ideas for practical action?
