Agriculture and Food Processing is a significant business sector in Norfolk, which has faced pressure and reduced profits from competitive global pricing and the world-wide sourcing of food products. Shaping Norfolk’s Future partners have been creative in identifying exciting and innovative ways in which to diversify and expand niche markets. For example, partners have developed an on-line toolkit to advise and support farmers considering re-developing old or redundant buildings for a range of purposes, to create new sources of income.
