Financial incentive for hill farmers
Article
Summary
Rising costs of food production and the global recession are two difficult factors for livestock owners, especially when the government wants to substitute existing subsidies paid to hill farmers. While they are protecting wildlife, landscapes, water and carbon stores as well as rearing livestock; they should be rewarded, the National Trust said. They also say that the government had to give financial incentives for farmers who conserve the largest carbon stores in Britain. Peatlands are the single largest carbon reserve in the UK. In this article Iwan Hughes told his strong viewpoints of this matter.

I totally agree with the points of National Trust. We, as the superior living beings of the planet earth, have to protect all the livings and landscapes. Otherwise all the good things of the world, like wildlife and landscapes, belong to the past, and that is what nobody wants. These farmers have a hard time right now, and the government doesn’t help them, what is a shame. In the end I hope that the hill farmers get rewards for what they do for the society. One thing is for sure Britain farmers are not the only farmers in the world with a hard time. I think that this is an international problem, if it isn’t a world problem.

This is a very good article! This also should must happen in the Netherlands! Because farmers are the best nature and wildlife protectors! They take care of animals. In the Netherlands farmers protect birds by placing a "fence" around a bird’s nest, by doing this they get awarded for their good work.
I think people must learn more about what farmers do, so they know that farmers are doing a great job!
Please give an reaction back on my blog!

I think the problem is not national and therefore there should be a organization which does the same as National Trust does only for whole Europe or world. This will be very hard to set up but if every country puts some effort and money in the program i am sure it will work
