Farm Resilience Programme
Farming under pressure
Our Farm Resilience Programme started in 2016 with the whole farm and whole family in mind. Our free business and environmental training helps you get a better handle of your finances and operations and build confidence for the future of your farm.
We’re not telling you how to farm, but we are here to help. We’ll work with you to highlight what options are available so you can feel confident planning your farm’s future.
As part of the programme, you will receive a tailored business health check, and three practical workshops that help you:
- Make sense of what’s changing around you.
- Explore current and future business and environmental opportunities.
- Build a practical plan that suits your short-term goals and long-term business strategy.
Our pilot programme is now open for farmers in the following areas:
- Devon
- Exmoor
- Lancashire
- Northern Ireland
- Northumberland
- Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire
- Peak District

Since it began in 2016 the Farm Resilience Progamme has supported 1,442 family farm businesses across the UK.
One of these farmers is Wilma, who took part in the programme in 2023.
Wilma farms with her partner on a second generation dairy and sheep farm in Scotland.
