We endorse the support for local agriculture.
B(i) To the list of local agricultural enterprises could be added food processing facilities and small abattoirs. The contribution local food production makes to "food security" should be mentioned.
Support should be given to renewable energy facilities and measures to conserve water.
(c) Development in the Countryside should take full advantage of the rural location for renewable energy technologies (ground source heat pumps etc) and rainwater harvesting.
