Did you know 70% of land in Devon is farmland?
Food production relies on healthy soils, clean water, and resilience to climate change.
DWT is supporting landowners across Devon to farm for people and nature, including @scraggleyapple at Essebeare Farm.

Hedgerow funding for farmers to sequester carbon and bolster biodiversity is essential moving forward under #ELMS let’s hope gov regains its sense of duty to our natural capital
Pasture for Life appeared in @UKParliament this week in #Hedgerow by @OurIsles @CPRE @FoodMuseumUK. Hedgerow is a campaign and an exhibition that looks to improve and safeguard our hedgerows. We are proud to represent farmers across the UK that manage and plant hedgerows!

“Shared knowledge is the 'magic ingredient' of agroecology”
Learning by doing, trying things out and being part of a group helps.
Different practices suit different farms, and often you don’t know what will work well until you give it a go #Agroecology

“We have chosen a diverse and eclectic selection of trees for our new hedge plantings with a focus on feeding birds. These include the usual suspects but lots of rowan, spindle, wild pear, cherry and apple.” @essebeare pastureforlife.org/biodivers…

“The area is managed through traditional approaches - cutting for hay in late summer; low intensity summer grazing with hardy breeds of cattle and rotational coppicing in winter.” @essebeare pastureforlife.org/biodivers…
