Securing the future: Workshops for farmers

A series of ‘hands-on’ workshops throughout the Eastern region and East Midlands, for farmers and landowners to help them cut fuel and energy costs and to ‘future proof’ their businesses against climate change.

They will examine the financial and carbon costs of on-farm energy use and provide a range of practical and proven measures to reduce them.

Climate change also brings a range of opportunities for farmers and landowners.  The workshops will provide an overview of the measures that farmers can take to minimise the threats and take advantage of the opportunities.

On completion, delegates will be able to calculate their own farm carbon footprint and energy spend, prioritise their energy saving actions and start preparing plans to adapt to a changing climate.  Throughout the workshops, reference will be made to sources of further expert information, advice and opportunities for funding, all of which will be provided in a delegate pack which will be provided to all participants.

The cost of each workshop is £20 and includes light refreshments.
