What's On 

Support and advice to help you improve soil health and function, from increasing the right soil biology to support nutrient cycling, to avoiding compaction and improving water-holding capacity and run-off management. You can also get advice on nutrient management approaches that best fit your farm system and help make inputs work more effectively. 

Practical support and advice on how grazing techniques can help improve grass growth, livestock health, water holding capacity of your soils and much more.  This could include whether and how rotational and adaptive grazing approaches might benefit your farm, how to improve recovery periods, reduce poaching, and make better improve grass growth to reduce reliance on bought-in feed and fertiliser. 

Advice on exploring different cropping options and rotations that can improve resilience, soil health, and farm flexibility. This might include introducing break crops, mixed swards, cover crops, or alternative rotations to spread risk and improve soil performance. 

Practical advice and audits on managing water across your farm to improve resilience in both wet and dry conditions. This could include reducing flood risk through better drainage and runoff management, making more efficient use of water during periods of drought or scarcity, and protecting water quality in rivers, ditches and groundwater through on-farm measures. 

Practical advice on how trees and hedgerows can be of benefit to your farming operations, from providing shelter for livestock and reducing wind and soil loss, to improving soil health, water management and supporting biodiversity. 

Through the network, you can access free farm woodland and hedgerow assessments to help identify where trees could fit on your farm, what options might work best, and what funding or grant opportunities are available.
