  • The National Non-Food Crops Centre
    The National Non-Food Crops Centre AN ASSESSMENT OF NON-FOOD CROP OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SOUTH EAST OF ENGLAND June 2006 - i - A SEEDA funded report, prepared by; Lucy Hodsman National Non-Food Crops Centre Biocentre, Innovation Way Heslington, York YO10 5DG With additional contributions from; West Sussex County Council Kent County Council - ii - Executive Summary The South East of England is the largest Region in the UK, aiming to create a prosperous, dynamic and inspirational region and supporting and enabling local communities whilst safeguarding natural resources and cherishing rich cultural heritage. Currently agriculture sustains 39,800 jobs in the South East Region, in comparison to that of the manufacturing industry, which is almost tenfold at 357,700, this figure is marginal [14]. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to retain the skills and expertise currently involved in the agricultural industry and encourage those involved to remain and younger generations to pursue land-based careers. One option many farmers are now considering, since the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy in 2004, is the cultivation of crops for non-food and industrial markets. The Reform has provided farmers with the freedom to move away from intensive food production, towards new or novel crop options which may previously never have been considered. By cropping the land in this differing manner growers are able to maintain their arable roots, whilst targeting varying markets, potentially adding value and increasing farm income. Within the food sector the South East is committed to supporting local produce; through working with farmer groups, local food groups and other agencies to promote development and encourage new outlets through farmers markets and village shops.

  • Open Farm Sunday – Farming Shines on Record Breaking Day
    9th June 2015 Open Farm Sunday – farming shines on record breaking day This Sunday (7th June) was the tenth anniversary for Open Farm Sunday, and thanks to the support from across the whole farming and food industry, the campaign enjoyed a record breaking day with a quarter of a million visitors! National organisers LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) paid tribute to the hundreds of farmers who opened their gates and thanked all those who helped and supported them. With the majority of farms basking in sunshine, more visitors than ever before visited a farm for Open Farm Sunday. Nearly 400 farms opened this year and while final figures are still being obtained, LEAF estimates that visitor numbers for 2015 will be over 250,000 - exceeding the record breaking attendance of 2014 by more than 15%. Annabel Shackleton, Open Farm Sunday manager at LEAF said: “Our tenth Open Farm Sunday has been a resounding success and a fantastic celebration of British farming and food. From the feedback received so far, it’s clear that Open Farm Sunday enabled hundreds of thousands of people to have an amazing day in the countryside, learning about farming and the story behind their food. We’re particularly delighted so many families took the time to visit farms up and down the country, many for the first time. On behalf of LEAF I’d like to offer a huge thank you to everyone involved. Open Farm Sunday 2016 will be on the 5th June, so please put the date in your diary so we can continue to build on the success we have achieved together.” Sponsors of Open Farm Sunday 2015 include: Aldi, Arla, Asda, BASF plc, Defra, Farmcare, Farmers Weekly, Frontier Agriculture, John Deere, Kellogg’s, LEAF Marque, Marks and Spencer, National Farmers Union, Syngenta, The Tesco Eat Happy Project, Waitrose plus the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (from its BPEX, DairyCo, EBLEX, HGCA and HDC divisions).

  • Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890
    Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas David Finger Flagstaff, Arizona Bachelor of Arts, State University of New York at Binghamton, 2003 Master of Arts, University of Arizona, 2006 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia May, 2015 1 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D. Finger Harvesting Power: Transatlantic Merchants and the Anglo-American Grain Trade, 1795-1890 Thomas D. Finger Abstract Between 1795 and 1889, the Anglo-American grain trade grew to provide Great Britain with most of its food imports. At first, bottlenecks in transportation and markets limited trade. Between the 1820s and 1870s, merchants built infrastructure by mobilizing business associations, capital, technology, and nature. British and American merchants invested in American transportation and participated in free trade debates during the 1840s. Following the repeal of the British Corn Laws in 1846, American and British merchants stitched together regional markets to send American wheat to Britain. By the 1870s, three key American regions supplied Britain with grain: the Great Lakes Corridor, California, and the Spring Wheat Region of the northern plains. In the late 1870s, American exports increased as British crops failed. Between 1875 and 1890, American wheat exports rose further as British merchants invested in American milling and transportation. By 1890, the American and British wheat markets converged. This convergence encouraged large commercial agriculture in the United States and a reliance on imports to feed industrial Great Britain. 2 “Harvesting Power” Thomas D.
