Sign up for the Farm for the Future programme today!
First published on 12 Oct 2021.

The Prince’s Countryside Fund is inviting farm businesses to join their new Farm for the Future programme, which is being delivered both virtually and by local Farm Support Groups in 11 regions across England and funded by Defra. The programme will help farms to better understand how the Agricultural Transition Plan will affect the future of their business. Farm for the Future will provide business support so farmers can manage the upcoming changes and make informed decisions about their future and discover opportunities with the ELM schemes that may financially and practically benefit the farm.

The programme consists of a welcome meeting, two workshops and one to one support. It is being delivered both virtually and by local Farm Support Groups in 11 regions across England.

Any tenant or owner-occupied farm currently in receipt of BPS in England is eligible to join. The programme will provide business support to help farmers manage the upcoming changes and make informed decisions about the future of their farm. It will also explore opportunities with the ELM schemes that could financially and practically benefit their farm business.
