At his inaugural address in 1933, US president Franklin D Roosevelt proclaimed: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself...which paralyses needed efforts to convert retreat into advance."He was referring to the economic crisis of the Great Depression, but I feel that these words hold true for us in agriculture today. British farming must continue its advance along the path to a more sustainable future. This will bring necessary change that is not to be feared and is in fact vital for the long-term health of our farms, our industry and our planet as we look to more sustainably feed a growing population.
