Oxfordshire
Oxfordshire is South East England's most rural county, with about three quarters of the land area covered by agriculture. It is a vibrant county with a thriving economy and an attractive environment. Almost 75% of the county is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, an Area of High Landscape Value or Green Belt.

Whole farm conservation plans cover 14% of farmland in Oxfordshire; many local organisations and farmers are committed to promoting environmentally responsible farming practices.

The Oxfordshire Food Group (OFG) was set up in response to the ambition of local consumers and producers to promote our local food more widely. Over the past three years we have developed an active programme of advice and support for local producers, and have succeeded in promoting Oxfordshire’s wonderful range of local produce to ever-increasing numbers of local people and visitors.

OFG is governed by the Steering Group, which consists of the local authorities, Business Link, Oxfordshire Economic Partnership, NFU and the Thames Valley Farmers' Market Co-operative, as well as local producers. For Minutes of the latest Steering Group meeting click here.
