The next generation of farmer groups

The workshop will be in two parts.  In the first, we'll look at what sort of environmental information is available to groups, what format it takes, how priorities for action are set and how these can be incorporated into group plans for funding bids (both ELMS and other).  The second half of the afternoon will be spent identifying what ELMS should offer groups to support delivery of those plans, both in terms of funding for effective facilitation, and/or potentially through direct payments for group activities.  Each session will last about an hour and there will be light refreshments on offer throughout.
