Farming for the Future: Planning for Profit and Nature

Join the Galloway & Southern Ayrshire UNESCO Biosphere, Propagate and National Farmers Union Scotland for a knowledge-sharing event looking at how farming can be good for both the environment and the farm business.

A call for farmers, crofters and others working in agriculture not to bottle up their worries, particularly after recent announcements, has come from RSABI, the charity which supports people in Scottish agriculture.

With widespread concern in the agricultural community about the potential impact of the Budget last week, the charity is urging people to avoid being caught up in an anxiety cycle, fuelled by social media and wider coverage.

A new plan to attract responsible private investment into natural capital markets has been launched for Scotland.

Minister for Employment and Investment Tom Arthur launched Scotland's Natural Capital Market Framework as he spoke at the Nature Finance UK 2024 conference.

Farmer-led groups have recommended the Whole Farm Plan to support farmers and crofters in taking a holistic view of their businesses.

By establishing your current performance and activities, farmers and crofters can identify opportunities for improvement and work towards greater productivity and profitability, positioning their business to contribute to meeting Scotland’s climate and nature targets.

Well-known farmer-comedian Jim Smith and popular local musicians, Peter Morrison and Seamus MacLennan, will take to the stage on Skye this December, for an unforgettable night of music and laughter.

The event - aimed at Skye farmers and crofters – is the first of a planned island #KeepTalking tour this winter in partnership with Scottish agricultural support charity RSABI.
