    Scope & contentBy Fisher German, United Kingdom

    "Britain has had a cheap food policy since the war, but the time has come to re-evaluate our priorities. Pressure on prices has forced farmers to sacrifice ecological protection in the name of productivity. Government subsidies, while designed
    to encourage sustainable farming, have unfortunately failed to deliver tangible benefits to wildlife. With this in mind, Fisher German, a leading rural consultancy, takes a look at how the role of the farmer is and needs to change in order to restore biodiversity in crops, and encourage a shift from current intensive agricultural practices".
