Looking for dairy farmers 🙋♂️ who have a bit of a thing for cow behavioural enrichment - so probably a bit of a self-proclaimed enrichment nerd, dabbling beyond brushes into stuff like outside loafing, buoys or bales, & always watching animals to see how they interact with it...

How could urban green spaces help boost national food production?
Our @RurbanRev study suggests that in GB it could contribute as much as 8x current domestic production of fruit & veg at the upper limit & many towns and cities could meet local needs
