In this edition, we focus on what makes British farming special. You can meet the livestock and dairy farmers using regenerative methods to improve their grasslands, learn more about the challenges facing a Gloucestershire vineyard, and the family of flower growers producing petals and dried floral bunches in the face of changing trends and fashions. Plus, in an exclusive column, NFU President Tom Bradshaw tells Countryside readers why it’s so important to back Britain’s farmers and improve our self-sufficiency in the face of an unstable world.

Farming deserves our resolute backing. It’s the industry that provides nearly two-thirds of all the food we eat in the UK, that underpins the largest manufacturing in the UK – food and drink. Which is worth £153.2 billion to the economy and supports 4.2 million jobs. And farming is the foundation of all that.
