It will be held in Woodbridge and coordinated by Chloe Cross, the multi-millionpound programme allows up to 20 farming families to take part in each location. Participants receive free business skills and environmental management training worth £2,300 per farm, delivered by expert consultants including Kite, the Andersons Centre, and Savills. The training helps farming families to make changes to improve their business and ensure their viability. Derek, a farmer who took part in 2019-20, told us: “The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme allows farmers to be open and honest with others. It’s a great way for people to come together, to put your head above the parapet and own how well your business is doing, to talk things through with others in a similar situation and with the expertise of the consultants.” 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 that farming families future-proof their business, now. The free business skills and environmental management training provided by The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme is proven to increase confidence and help farm businesses ready themselves for change. I’d like to thank all of our programme sponsors for their support of The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme, particularly Aldi, Morrisons, and the National Trust.” For further information and to sign up, please visit: www.princescountrysidefund.org.uk/farmresilience ENDS SOCIAL MEDIA: From this link, you will find social media assets and images approved for use alongside The Prince’s Farm Resilience Programme, and the programme logo.
