Agricultural Support
Our team of BIP agricultural advisors has been supporting farmers for over 30 years, offering specialist advice to all types of agricultural businesses.
Each of our agricultural advisors has experience in managing their own farm business, so they understand the unique challenges faced by farmers and land managers.
Through our funded agricultural support programmes, which are backed by local authorities and the Government, we provide free support including one-to-one advice with a dedicated advisor, and in-person and online workshops on a range of specialist topics.
In addition to our funded work, we also offer commercial agricultural support at a very competitive hourly rate. Through this commercial work, we can help you apply for government schemes (such as SFI and Countryside Stewardship), prepare appraisals to support planning applications, and complete grant applications.
Our funded support
Future Farming Resilience
The Future Farming Resilience (FFR) Fund is provided to help farmers with the 7-year agricultural transition away from Basic Payments.
Through FFR, we provide free, tailored one-to-one advice, webinars and business skills development workshops to help farmers and land managers develop their farm businesses for a sustainable future.
