Diverse benefits from farms like Canalside!
(We knew that but now here’s academic proof!)
See the recently published report, ‘A Matter of Scale’, on research into the benefits of small-scale, agroecological* farms here:
https://landworkersalliance.org.uk/…/small-scale-agroecol…/…
The research was conducted by the Land Workers’ Alliance (LWA) in conjunction with the Centre for Agroecology, Water and Resilience (CAWR) at Coventry University, and Canalside was one of the 69 farms that participated.
* agroecological = an ecological approach to agriculture that views agricultural areas as ecosystems and is concerned with the ecological impact of agricultural practices
