In September the EA released a revised version of Best Farming Practices, a free booklet giving farmers simple, practical ideas to help them profit from a good environment.
Working with advisors and key stakeholder organisations the EA revised the original 2001 version of the booklet.
Now farmers can choose from 250 ways to benefit their farm while protecting soils, water and wildlife. Fifteen real-life case studies demonstrate that what’s good for the environment makes good business sense for the farmer too.

Topics covered include effective management of soil, manures, crops and livestock to minimise adverse environmental impacts as well as using water wisely and reducing erosion. It also shows how farmers can adapt to climate change, protecting their own land and livelihoods, and reducing damage from floods and reliance on climate changing fossil fuels.
