CUMBRIAN Farming families looking to ‘future-proof’ their businesses have been urged to register for the Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme.
Registrations for the Prince’s Countryside Fund’s initiative are open until October 31, but workshops will not take place until local social distancing regulations allow. Participants receive free business skills and environmental management training worth £2,000 per farm, held at 15 locations across the UK.
Keith Halstead, executive director of The Prince’s Countryside Fund, said: “British agriculture is undergoing its most significant change in a generation, so it is vital farming families future-proof their business now. “The free business skills and environmental management training provided by the Programme is proven to increase confidence and help farm businesses ready themselves for change.”
