Growing pesticide-free soft fruit
The climate in Angus in Scotland makes it an ideal location for growing soft fruit. Some farms use biological controls rather than pesticides to protect their crops.

In addition, turning to natural methods now means farms will be unaffected by any potential bans of pesticides brought in by the European Union.
