Supporting food and farming in the East Riding of Yorkshire

Supporting food and farming in the East Riding of Yorkshire

With over 90 per cent of the East Riding of Yorkshire used for agriculture, farming is central to our economy, communities and identity. Find out how we’re working together to support food and farming in the region.

Working in partnership

Through the ‘Rural Matters initiative’, East Riding of Yorkshire Council works in partnership with farmers, food producers and rural organisations to help the sector adapt, grow and thrive.

From planning and flood management to skills development, rural safety and national representation, we are committed to supporting a strong and sustainable farming future.

Hear from our food and farming community

Our latest Rural Matters video brings together the voices of local farmers, food producers and rural leaders who live and work at the heart of the East Riding.

You'll hear about:

  • The importance of agriculture to our local economy.
  • The challenges facing today’s farming businesses.
  • How partnership working supports rural communities.
  • Why buying local matters.
