Series Finale: How can you be more resilient?

Throughout this series we have been encouraging farmers across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset and Dorset to ask how resilient their businesses are going forwards, and see what we can all do to make them more resilient?

From soil health to farm safety and communications to bovine tb, we’ve put a wide variety of topics through the resilience lens. I  this episode we take a step back and review the big picture, asking what resilience really means for farmers in the south west? What can we take from the series? 

Joining host Peter Green is Liz Bowles, CEO at the Farm Carbon Toolkit and James Daniel who is founder of Precision Grazing. 

Throughout this series we are focusing on the topic of resilience. 

Farming Focus is the podcast for farmers in the South West of England, but is relevant for farmers outside of the region or indeed anyone in the wider industry or who has an interest in food and farming.
