Balancing environmental actions and farming
In the videos below, sustainable farming advisor, Jim Egan, shares advice on the importance of planning to make sure any environmental actions incorporated on farm are done so for the right reasons, in the right place, to deliver the right benefits.
Jim looks at some of the popular options many are starting to implement on farm, as well as how funding from both public and private sectors can reward farmers for doing so.

Navigating public and private funding With sustainable actions increasingly rewarded through public and private funding, it's important to consider all your options. No single route of support will suit all farms - it requires a holistic and strategic approach. With careful planning, both funding sources can be combined to deliver maximum benefits. We're uniquely placed in the industry to link farmers to these opportunities and have devised some simple steps to help. |
As well as supporting UK farmers, at Frontier we're taking a strategic approach to growing our own business in a sustainable way through The Responsible Choice.
