New farming skills and learning service to launch this week

Farmers and growers will have access to a unique new learning and development this week with the launch of TIAH membership.

The online service, which launches on 10 January, aims to make support, training and professional development in farming easier to find and access.

Over 400 farmers and growers have helped the Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture's (TIAH) develop the tool.

Membership to it offers farmers and growers a chance to develop their skills, progress their career and demonstrate their professionalism.

The online system tracks how individuals use it, and draws on their background experience to deliver personalised information and training recommendations.
