MANAGING water and air quality on the farm is an essential skill for the next generation of farmers, and a subject close to Eden Rivers Trust’s heart.

With a mix of talks from government agencies and utility provider, United Utilities (UU), demos and a farm visit, the challenge’s aim was to increase awareness of best practice with students from Newton Rigg College at Penrith.
