Farming Sustainability from a Social Standpoint

On this episode we look at farming for a socially sustainable standpoint.  We look at it from a dairy, beef and tillage point of view.The role of the farmer can often be a solitary position, so we discuss items that can help increase social contact, and increase work life balance.Sustainability in farming has three key pillars;  Environmental, Economic and Social.  The third is often overlooked.  Social Sustainability is defined as;‘The extent to which social values, social identities, social relationships and social institutions can continue into the future’ The three key subgroupings in social sustainability are the farmers wellbeing, the animals wellbeing and the community wellbeing.Mind yourself out there, farm smart, farm safe.The Sod Pod;  https://ie.timacagro.com/podcast-the-sod-pod/
