These act as more of a 'live feed' and so are a good current measure of what is going on in the region.

Farming and Food are the key elements in the economy of the South West. The region produces more food than Scotland and three times as much as Wales. Agriculture contributes twice as much to the regional economy as the average English region and generates twice as many jobs. Just as importantly, it is farmers and landowners who have helped create and care for an environment as varied and beautiful as any in the world and which contributes hugely to the quality of life that is the region's biggest single selling point.
The Woodland Carbon Code sets out the standards for voluntary carbon sequestration projects that incorporate core principles of good carbon management as part of modern sustainable forest management.
