The Sustainable Farming and Food Strategy Sub Group (SFFS) is reorganising itself to create an East of England Food and Agriculture Board (FAB) and the inaugural meeting will be held in July 2011.
June 4th
In September 2010, the East of England Rural Forum published a rural white paper for the East of England – ‘Vibrant Rural Communities’. This described their vision for rural areas over the next ten years and proposed recommendations for its achievement.
Actions were developed in consultation with representatives from more than 120 organisations including businesses, the public sector and community groups from across the East of England and an Action Plan was put together. This Plan describes in more detail the recommendations and actions and identifies those bodies and organisations the EERF will work with for delivery of the five key themes:
• Broadband and Telephony Services;
• Economic Growth and Skills;
• Housing and the Built Environment;
• Sustainable Development;
• Access to Services
Action in all these areas is necessary if our rural communities, their people, businesses and natural environment, are to fulfil their potential and contribute to a greener, more prosperous and sustainable future.
A letter from our Chairman, Pat Holtom, regarding the Action Plan for EERF’s Rural White Paper is being distributed to all key individuals and organizations that can help with delivery of the actions. A summary of the action plan is also available.
