How aspiring growers are putting spare land to use

Property owners with spare land are being partnered up people who want to start up food and farming businesses as part of a pilot scheme.

Tamar Grow Local has been working towards the project for two years and is now running the scheme with national partners.

There have been 200 registrations, three successful land matches and another 15 in discussion, organisers said.

Rachael Forster, from Landmatch England, said: "It works within the nature friendly, regenerative sector and to support new entrants into starting new farming enterprises."
