"When birds fly in the sky, they leave no trace. And when fish swim in the water, they leave no trace ... But unlike birds or fish, people do not move in the air or in the water. We move on the ground and we also move in each other's minds. ... So we continue our determined practice to let our minds be "no-trace mind."" --Les Kaye
Farming Without A Trace
Can farming and wildlife co-exist? That has been the aim of England’s eighty-some Conservation Grade Farms, farms that grow wildlife as well as crops. Some 10% of the land is set aside to provide natural habitat and food for animals and birds that were once widespread in the British landscape. Currently the demand for the brand is providing these farmers a premium for their crops, enabling them to set aside more land for wildlife.
