RSPB organised visit to explore the benefits of farm clusters

Fens 2100+ programme director Amy Shaw, and strategy advisor Anna Robotham, recently visited Harrowden’s turf farm, a visit hosted by the RSPB. Situated within the Ouse catchment we learnt about the challenges and opportunities of climate change for the region’s agricultural sector. We explored the benefits of farm clusters, groups of neighbouring farms joining their efforts in making space for nature. In the context of the challenges brought by increased climatic extremes in a carefully managed landscape, the concept of farm clusters is gaining momentum and we are keen to support such initiatives.
