About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

Join us for this Soil Association webinar to discuss challenges and opportunities for building sustainable sheep systems.

We will explore key strategies for enhancing soil health, improving grazing management, and boosting animal welfare; including how 'whole farm systems' can benefit both your farm and the environment.

We will also be providing information on the government schemes and financial incentives that are available to support farmers transitioning to more sustainable practices.

This webinar is taking place ahead of our sessions at NSA Welsh sheep on the 21st May, and NSA North Sheep on the 4th June; where we invite you to come along and meet our farming advisor team in-person, and discuss these topics further.

This is a fantastic opportunity to hear from other farmers and learn how to make your sheep systems more sustainable and resilient. Register for free through this Eventbrite page.


Key Takeaways and Points for Discussion:

- What strategies are there for improving soil health and pasture management?

- How can effective grazing systems be implemented to boost productivity and animal health?

- What government support schemes are available to support farmers to transition to sustainable farming practices?
