Business support for farmers in four counties opens

Livestock farmers in Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Berkshire are now able to apply for business resilience support

The Farm for the Future Programme, delivered by Pasture for Life and the Royal Countryside Fund, opened for applications on Thursday (1 February).

Launching at the Royal Agricultural University, it aims to help farmers improve business resilience, enhance the environment and adapt to climate change.

The programme, over the next six months, will deliver free interactive livestock workshops led by farmers, including networking and learning, signposting and next-step planning.

All participants will join the Royal Countryside Find’s Farm Resilience Network and gain access to a bank of resources and ongoing support.
