Overview
Health and Harmony: the future for food, farming and the environment in a Green Brexit' sets out the government's ambitions for farming in England and seeks the views of all readers on its proposals.

Why We Are Consulting
The proposals in this paper set out a range of possible paths to a brighter future for farming. They are the beginning of a conversation, not a conclusion and we want everyone who cares about the food we eat and the environment around us to contribute.

It may not seem to be connected to biking at first glance but if you think about it, lots of the riding we do is over farmland. Thinking further, this affects almost every aspect of life as we know it - the farms provide food, give a home to wildlife, birds, insects.

If you have a few minutes spare, please have a read and reply
