LEAF
Jim worked closely with LEAF, and managed their farm
demonstration projects for Natural England. The main aim of these projects
is to give the general public a better understanding of agriculture
and the kinds of issues that face modern farmers. There is an emphasis
on the importance of supporting local agriculture, as well as promoting
local produce where appropriate.
Another key target of the projects is to encourage farmers to work more closely with each other, and the sharing of ideas and views to create a stronger and more successful industry.
Jim still believes in the ideals and beliefs of LEAF.
