These events, run under the Defra Future Farming Resilience Fund, are designed to provide targeted and specialist resilience support to farmers and land managers. (Farms that straddle borders with Wales and Scotland are eligible to take part, as long as they have some land in England).

• Where does organic or low input farming fit with the changes in support payments?

• What are the components of the ELMS scheme that are going to reward organic and low input farmers the most? As well as how to make the best use of Countryside Stewardship
