Stronger Together: The Benefits of Farmer Collaboration

Welcome back to the FiPL Farm Diaries, brought to you by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.In this episode, we tackle a subject the farming industry isn't always known for: Collaboration. While farmers are often independent, the guests in this episode demonstrate the immense power of working together. Whether it's a formal cluster, a mentoring network, or a parish volunteer group, the message is clear: we can achieve more for the environment, our businesses, and our mental health when we don't go it alone.A key theme running through these interviews is the vital role of a facilitator - that person who handles the admin, organises the logistics, and allows the farmers to focus on farming.🎧 In This Episode, We Hear From:<ul><li>Steve Dunning & Jemma Wilson (Orton Fells Farm Cluster):Steve (Chairman) and Gemma (Facilitator) discuss how neighbouring farms joined forces to gain "clout" and access funding they couldn't get individually.</li><li>Rob Bunn (Pasture for Life):Rob manages the FiPL program for Pasture for Life across the North of England. </li><li>Drew Woodward & Matt Jenkinson (Crosby Ravensworth Parish Tree Group):Returning guests Matt and Drew explain the mechanics of a community-led tree group.This is episode 11 out of a 12-part series.DEFRA have recently announced an extension of the FiPL funding to 2029. Please contact your local FiPL officer for more details. <a href="mailto:fipl@yorkshiredales.org.uk">⁠⁠⁠fipl@yorkshiredales.org.uk</a></li></ul>
