Brickpits Farm
Organic farming (Environment)
Ian and Lynn Hutchison of Brickpits Farm, East Sussex, used a loan from Triodos Bank to buy land for grazing sheep.
Organic farming
Organic agriculture recognises the relationship between our environment, our health and the food we eat. As well as high animal welfare standards, organics avoids the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers and helps to revitalize the earth. And, because organic farming releases less greenhouse gases than non-organic farming, it means a smaller carbon footprint for the environment. Lending in this sector varies from dairy and meat, to forestry and fruit.
