The Royal Countryside Fund (RCF) is working with Myerscough College to deliver the ‘Farm for the Future’ programme in Lancashire.

The programme is funded by Defra’s Future Farm Resilience Fund, which is designed to provide business and environmental support to farmers and land managers during the early years of the Agricultural Transition Plan in England.

By engaging in a series of free workshops and individual support with trusted local advisors, Farm for the Future is designed to help you understand more about the agricultural transition and how it will affect your farm business.

The offer includes participation in specially tailored workshops, delivered by well-respected industry experts, as well as an on-farm meeting of up to three hours which will focus on your own individual business needs and can be arranged around the kitchen table.
