The Rawcliffe Bridge Award for Sustainability 2022

To mark the 20-year anniversary since partnering with the Hinchliffe Family at Rawcliffe Bridge, BASF launched the Rawcliffe Bridge Award for Sustainability in 2022. This partnership has allowed us to understand how to balance profitable farming and wildlife management. It has taught us how a productive arable farm can improve the natural environment, without sacrificing yield.

In July 2022, Colin Chappell, arable farmer from North Lincolnshire and Guy Prudom, mixed farmer from North Yorkshire, were announced as the inaugural winner and runner-up of BASF’s Rawcliffe Bridge Award for Sustainability. We visited them in June 2022 to see how sustainability made an impact on their farms.
