2011 YFC Regional Link Day
Practical tips for supporting the Campaign for the Farmed Environment on your farm
Friday 25 March 2011
Billow Farm, Breadstone, Berkeley, Gloucestershire, GL13 9HF
Open to all YFC members
- Find out more about your industry campaign
- Make informed decisions for your farming future
- Free advice, information and farm walk
The YFC Regional Link Day offers YFC members practical farming tips to support the Campaign for the Farmed Environment (CFE).
The Campaign is just over a year old but has done much to raise farmers’ awareness of the environmental benefits that their land can deliver.
The CFE is the farming industry’s chance to demonstrate that this voluntary approach can work better than regulation and that you are best placed to decide on, and tackle, your local environmental priorities, without intervention. But if the farming community cannot step up and achieve these results voluntarily the Government will have to consider a compulsory approach to deliver these same benefits.
