Down on the farm

The BBC reports an interesting new study: If you want to recharge your batteries, head to the farm.

"Professor Jules Pretty, head of biological sciences at [Essex] university, said there was "growing evidence" that exposure to green space and woodlands was good for people... This study clearly shows that spending as little as two hours on a farm benefits a person's wellbeing and enables them to connect with nature... ditch the gym workout or snooze on the sofa and get out into the countryside and on to a farm instead."

The report was sponsored by a group called 'Linking Environment And Farming.'
