Get Funding to Boost your Farming Business’s Resilience and Safeguard your Wellbeing

Working in agriculture can be immensely fulfilling, yet it often comes with significant physical and emotional challenges. During periods of personal, professional, or political change, uncertainty about the long-term resilience of your farming or crofting business may take its toll on your physical and mental health.

Resilience measures a business’s ability to manage uncertainty and factors impacting performance. If you want to adapt quickly to disruptions while maintaining continuous business operations and safeguarding people, Scotland’s Farm Advisory Service (FAS) can help you prepare for and respond to change.

Receive up to £2,000 of funding through FAS for an Integrated Land Management Plan (ILMP), a holistic business review conducted by an experienced adviser, and a step-by-step action plan to ensure your farm or croft remains profitable and sustainable. Pair this with £3,200 of funding for Specialist advice, including Resilience planning, ideal for businesses looking to increase resilience to threats, changes in the market or personal circumstances. This can include financial analysis, output/profit/margin analysis, business risks and opportunities.
