About this Event
The evening will include a presentation from Martin Lines the CEO of Nature Friendly Farming Network, a farmer led organisation who's aim is to create a balance between farming and nature.
Martin farms arable crops in South Cambridgeshire and leads the Nature Friendly Farming Network. On farm, he focuses on soil health, integrated pest management, mixed rotations and schemes that pay for public goods. In his CEO role, he works with government, retailers and the finance sector to back farmers with simple rules and fair funding. Martin convenes farmer networks, shares what works in practice, and acts as a constructive voice across the sector – aiming for resilient businesses, better food and more nature.
There will also be discussion surrounding the updating of the River Mease SSSI Restoration Plan and a future Farmer Collaboration Group- speaking with farmers and suggesting potential interventions and opportunities at different scales.
