(Contact the author)Abstract
Professor Julia Aglionby, PhD, Professor of Practice, University of Cumbria/Foundation for Common Land, was a speaker on an Upland Farming Food Production panel at a Farmer’s Weekly Transition Event. The event, attended by several hundred farmers, was targeted at helping farmers transition from the previous farming support systems of basic payment schemes to the new Environmental Land Management schemes. The panel event was a vibrant discussion on how to transition livestock systems to still produce food from livestock while remaining profitable and enhancing outcomes for nature and climate in protected areas. Options to enhance nature and grass production through hedge planting and rotational grazing were explored by the panel including Cumbrian farmer Nic Renison. Julia Aglionby is a land agent specialising in commons and uplands. Julia chairs Our Upland Commons project board run by the Foundation for Common Land and was on the Board of Natural England and chaired the Uplands Alliance. She lives on a beef and sheep care farm in Cumbria - Susan’s Farm, a charitable incorporated organisation, of which she is trustee.
