Happy New Year from the TOE Team!
We would like to commence the year by inviting landworkers and farmers to the launch of The Royal Countryside Fund’s ‘Farm for the Future Programme’, being delivered by Pasture for Life in Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire on the 1st February 2024.
Farm for the Future is delivered through a series of free workshops and one-to-one sessions which focus on supporting farmers to navigate the changes affecting the future of farming. Some of the things you can expect to learn will include: the challenges facing farming; basics of a farming business; alternative ways of thinking about the business of farming; changing vision and mindset; understanding and making the most of environmental assets; collaborating with the farming community to build resilience and sourcing funding.
The Royal Agricultural University is hosting the launch event on 1st of February 2024 from 11am - 1pm. There will be an overview of the future of farming from the Royal Agricultural University followed by a presentation on alternative farming practices to secure farm sustainability from Nikki Yoxall and an interactive workshop about what can be gained from participating in the programme with Jonty Brunyee.
All participants will become a member of The Royal Countryside Fund’s Farm Resilience Network and gain access to a bank of resources and ongoing support, and everyone can benefit from an annual free membership to Pasture for Life which further supports farmers to build and strengthen the farming community with a wealth of practical, helpful, resources about regenerative agriculture.
