Future Farming Resilience Fund: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access free business advice to help transition your farm as direct government payments change.
The Future Farming Resilience Fund provides specialized business guidance to help agricultural businesses adapt to upcoming changes in how they are funded. This initiative is designed to support the transition toward new ways of operating as traditional payment structures evolve.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically intended for farmers who are currently preparing for the end of BPS payments. As the landscape of agricultural funding shifts, this fund targets those who need to rethink their business models to ensure their farms remain viable in a changing environment.
What you get
If you qualify, you get access to free business advice. This professional guidance is intended to help you navigate the transition to new models of farming and business management. The goal is to provide the expertise needed to move away from old payment systems and toward sustainable, modern business structures.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee to access these professional services, the scheme does require a commitment of your time. You will need to dedicate time to meet with consultants and engage in discussions regarding your specific business needs and future planning.
The catch to know
The most important thing to understand is that this funding is allocated for the cost of the advice itself. It is not a direct cash grant or a lump sum payment delivered to your bank account; instead, it covers the cost of the professional expertise required to help you plan your transition.
How to apply
- Review your current business model to see how the end of BPS payments will impact your farm.
- Prepare to discuss your specific transition needs with a professional consultant.
- Consult with the relevant government bodies to find out how to secure these advisory services.
