Farming For Nature (FFN) have recently announced a new pilot farmer-to-farmer knowledge sharing and mentorship service. This initiative is aimed at supporting farmers and landowners who may be looking for on-the-ground practical advice from fellow farmers on how they might improve their land’s natural capital.
FFN has a thriving and ever-growing network of ‘Ambassador’ farmers through their annual Ambassador Awards programme. Many of these Ambassadors have already offered their time and expertise to be mentors on this programme. ‘The Horse’s Mouth’ pilot project will involve one of these mentors walking the land with the owner and sharing simple, practical advice and encouragement. FFN aims to select 20 farms this Autumn to partake in this pilot initiative, with a view to expanding the concept into the future.
