Digital Essentials: Technology Support for Your Farm

Run by Cosmic, leading digital specialists in the South West, this workshop has been designed to give you an overview of farm technology in a jargon-free way, whatever your skill level. Whether you’re looking to develop your digital skills, want to improve your broadband connectivity, or are exploring the latest farm management software, then we can help. In this workshop we will cover:

• Guidance on broadband providers, network issues and funding options
• Advice on IT, including what devices and software you need to run your farm efficiently
• How to improve the physical and cyber security of your farm
• Online accounting software options and how to use them
• Website development, setting up social media accounts for business and developing a digital marketing strategy.

After attending this workshop, you should have a clearer idea of how technology can help improve the day-to-day management of your farm, saving you time and money, and a better understanding of what options are available.

In addition, Cosmic can offer further, free workshop sessions and one-to-one support, exploring each of these areas in much more detail, depending on your individual needs.
