Farmer Collaboration Groups – Expression of Interest
Farming between the Tyne and the Tees?
Help us shape something new.
A bid has just been submitted to establish eight new farmer collaboration groups across the Tyne-to-Tees Lowlands: one dairy, two arable, and five mixed-farming groups.
The aim is simple: bring local farmers together to learn from each other, tackle shared challenges and make practical improvements to their businesses and farms.
Groups would be farmer-led and built around what matters to the people involved.
That could include:
✓ Farmer-to-farmer learning
✓ Business resilience and productivity
✓ Small changes that make a difference
✓ Practical farm visits
✓ Environmental opportunities
✓ Shared problems and practical solutions
✓ Finding opportunities to work together
This isn’t a commitment.
We’re gathering expressions of interest now to
understand where farmers are, what they farm
and where there is demand.
Interested?
Tell us where you farm and what you’d like from a group.
