A farmer has said rewilding her land is a key way to look after nature and “give life back to the soil”.
Alex Stevenson owns Jordan’s Farm in Wakes Colne near Colchester, Essex, and hoped that rewilding 25 acres land at her farm would help the ecosystem to thrive.
The process of rewilding aims to let nature take care of itself and repair damaged ecosystems naturally.
I just mean there’s no way a farmer would leave a part of their land to rewilding if there was no financial incentive
I know lots of farmers and every one is so tight they squeak when they walk, but all drive new Range Rovers 🤔
My only point of reference for a British farmer is Jeremy Clarkson, so that checks out.
Take 25 acres of land that is really shitty. Those acres that generally cost more to try to farm than it returns in profit. The acres they haven’t truly farmed in 20 years
Plant a few native species that can survive there. Remove some invasives. Market it like hell to generate higher profits on the rest of your farm.
It’s all marketing.
