The Importance of Farmland in Cornwall

More than 70% of Cornwall’s land is dedicated to agriculture, making it a vital part of the region’s economy and ecosystem. The fertile soil and favorable climate allow for the cultivation of a wide variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, and cereals. Additionally, Cornwall is known for its dairy farming, producing high-quality milk and cheese.

 

The abundance of farmland in Cornwall not only provides us with nutritious food but also contributes to the preservation of the region’s natural resources. Sustainable farming practices, such as organic farming and agroforestry, can help enhance soil quality, reduce pollution, and support wildlife habitats. By working collaboratively with farmers, we can ensure that nature thrives alongside agricultural activities.
