Roots to Resilience
Farming is changing every day, bringing forth fresh challenges and new decisions. The Roots to Resilience programme equips farmers with the learning they need to take their beef and lamb businesses to the next level.
What’s in it for you?
Farming is changing, and you want to know the best way to move your business forward.
In recognition of this, we have created the Roots to Resilience programme; this started with a three-day workshop in December 2023 and will continue through 2024 with events, podcasts and helpful resources.
The programme will equip you with the knowledge, tools and skills you need to identify business aims and plan future goals.
As part of Roots to Resilience, we will address a variety of topics, including:
- Identifying worry areas to address
- Improving communication at home and in your business
- Establishing clear goals and a shared vision for you, your family and your business
- Understanding your farm accounts
- Applying the three secrets for increasing profit to your farm
- Developing a clear, implementable plan to help you achieve your goals
We understand that the reason for farming is different for everyone and that it is not always linked to how much profit you make. Importantly, the course will also incorporate the environmental and social aspects of farming systems.
Dallas Mount, Ranch Management Consultants
After the success of our December events, Dallas Mount, owner of Ranch Management Consultants, will be returning for another workshop later this year. He will bring to life his expertise and insight to support all areas of your farming needs through the Roots to Resilience programme.

How you can get involved
We have made the difficult decision to postpone the Roots to Resilience event that was scheduled to take place in May.
Lots of farmers were excited about the event but, unfortunately, haven't been able to make the commitment to attend, and we get that. The winter has been extremely challenging and we know you have a lot on your plates. The event will now be held on 18–21 November in Shipley, West Yorkshire.
In the meantime, look out for case studies from farmers who attended the event in December to see how they’ve used their learnings back on their farms. And if you’d like to be added to the waiting list for the event in November, let us know: KE.Events@ahdb.org.uk
If you want to get involved with our Roots to Resilience programme or simply find out more about it, make sure you've subscribed to our newsletters and that you are following us on social media.
Module 1: Change the goal, change the system – balancing food production and the ecosystem
What can you do on your farm to improve the ecosystem while maintaining productivity?
The aim of our first Roots to Resilience module is to get you thinking about what you’re aiming for with your business, what’s driving you and what’s holding you back.
