Andrew Charlton praises the long-term strategy of Norfolk County Council

Organic Arable member Andrew Charlton appeared on Farming Today this morning to discuss his relationship with his landlord, Norfolk County Council.  He suggests they are more flexible and will have a role in supplying local communities once resource scarcity impacts upon agriculture.  Also interesting that they helped fund his agroforestry enterprise as a carbon offset.  Perhaps other councils may follow suit if asked.  (Listen from 10 minutes onwards if you don't have time for the whole programme).
