Gareth Morgan, the head of farming policy at the Soil Association, added: “The government is failing to make clear how they will give farmers confidence to invest in the radical changes needed for a resilient and sustainable, agroecological farming sector. We are facing a climate emergency and ecological collapse – there are welcome elements in today’s announcement but we must stop tinkering around the edges.” As well as agriculture, there is also aquaculture , where fish, seafood and aquatic plants are farmed. There are different pools for each stage of the fish’s life. When they’re big enough, they’re put in the larger pools

The Hill Farmer by Elfyn Pritchard Gareth Wyn Jones(2014-12

Garrulous, optimistic and boundlessly enthusiastic, he was hands-on in his approach, meeting couples and implanting embryos as one of the centre’s clinical team. In 2000 he fulfilled a long-held wish to become a country gentleman, buying a 125-acre estate with a Georgian mansion and working farm in north Devon, which he set about restoring with his customary energy while still directing the centre. Come and meet your local food producers! You can do your weekly shop and support local farmers and independent producers. People in Iron Age Britain believed in powerful spirits . They met to worship the spirits in sacred places, like the shores of a lake or a clearing in a wood.The farmer and his family came to national prominence in the aftermath of the severe snowstorm which hit their farm in the Carneddau mountain range of north Wales in March 2013. His clinic was lined with photos of blissful couples holding babies, and in pursuit of that end result he pushed boundaries harder than most. In the late 80s he caused an outcry for using eggs from donors known to the prospective parents, something that is now common practice. A teacher encouraged him to pursue a career in medicine and he underwent his initial training at Westminster medical school. He opted to specialise in obstetrics and gynaecology: he always claimed to be driven by a desire to make people happy, and saw helping women to give birth as the best means of doing so. This gaucheness may sound like a pose, but Williams made it real and palpable in what is probably his best-known work, Walk a Mile in My Shoes (2006), in which visitors were invited to try on a pair of his size 13 shoes and slop helplessly about the gallery. Clogs, felt slippers, battered old brogues – one suddenly understood his embarrassing problems with podiatry, and the narrow range of available footwear. Each pair had a droll label attached: "These are the sandals I might wear to renovate my holiday home in France. The locals would be right to hate me." I enjoyed this autobiography, it provides an insight into not just a farming way of life but also how farmers are becoming fashionable in a way, as consumers wish to see their lifestyle more and more. - Lorna, Irish Farmerette.com

Craft, who has died aged 81, was an innovative surgeon who achieved a number of firsts. His clinics saw the first successful birth of IVF twins in Europe in 1982, and Britain’s first triplets in 1984; he oversaw the first birth through transferring eggs and sperm to the uterus (1982), and later the first in Britain using gamete intrafallopian transfer, or GIFT (1986).He is a strong advocate for sourcing and buying local produce and supporting local farmers and food producers rather than buying mass produced, imported, over processed food in supermarkets. Craft was born in Wanstead, east London, one of three sons of Reginald Craft, a Barclays Bank employee, and his wife, Lois (nee Logan), who also worked in the bank before her marriage. He grew up in Woodford, attending first St Mary’s Convent there and later Dame Alice Owen’s school for boys in Islington. Thérèse Coffey, the secretary of state for environment, food and rural affairs, said: “Farmers are at the heart of our economy – producing the food on our tables as well as being the custodians of the land it comes from. These two roles go hand-in-hand and we are speeding up the rollout of our farming schemes so that everyone can be financially supported as they protect the planet while producing food more sustainably.”

These were simple one-roomed homes with a pointed thatched roof and walls made from wattle and daub (a mixture of mud and twigs). Some people choose not to eat meat, and they’re called vegetarians. And some people don’t eat anything that comesDairy cows are kept to make milk. But some cows, like these, are reared for meat. There are sheep here too, which are reared from lambs to be eaten, like the cows. Some sheep are reared for their wool too, which is used to make clothes.
