Social Farming offers people who are socially, physically, mentally or intellectually disadvantaged the opportunity to spend time on a family farm in a healthy, supportive and inclusive environment.

According to researchers, farming and technology are becoming increasingly linked.

The issues was raised at the September meeting of the local authority.

A deal was reached last night to reduce emissions from the sector to 25%

Local farmers are not happy with the higher rate of the emissions target.

A 25% cut is expected to be signed off on by the Government.

There is still no agreement on the targets that farmers may have to meet.
