Biodiversity and alternative food products

Increasing biodiversity of both the farm environment and what it produces, is seen as one of the ways in which farming businesses can remain sustainable in the future.

This event will examine what this means in practice by hearing from some Scottish businesses that have changed their management practices to increase both biodiversity and income on their farms.

We’ll watch video footage from some Scottish businesses that are farming in a way that has increased biodiversity on their farm. These business owners will also join us as part of our panel.

Joining our guest panel will be:

• Marian & Simon Bruce from Highland Boundary
• Sascha & Hugh Grierson from Hugh Grierson Organic
• Davy McCracken from SRUC

There will also be an opportunity for those who attend to ask questions and discuss the process of creating a more biodiverse farm.
