New booklet: Nature-Friendly Farming in Action

United Kingdom
Farm Practices
NFFN Reports

The nature and climate emergency continues to threaten farming’s productivity. But through nature-friendly farming and the practices found in this booklet, we can all take action to restore and protect what makes our farm businesses viable: nature.

With biodiversity in staggering decline across our farmed landscapes, it has never been more urgent for farms to adopt practices that support multiple species to thrive. There are many practices that farms of all sizes and systems can adopt to help nature flourish.

The Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) and Farm Wildlife have joined forces to spotlight farmers demonstrating success through practices that improve farm ecosystems, restore soil health, boost profit margins and increase resilience to extreme weather.
