		Cumbria is an ecologically outstanding county, noted for the quality of its coast and its freshwater wetlands.
		The Trust considers that the institutions and attitudes of the past, when the aim of national policy was to maximise food production, continue to excessively influence policy, and that much of what passes for flood defence is actually land drainage.
		Cumbria is not a well favoured county agriculturally, and much of its agriculture is wholly or largely dependent on the taxpayer for its continuation.
