It will explore how accessing green finance can support the next generation to improve their business efficiency and productivity within the context of the green recovery, linking to what buyers are then looking for when sourcing products. NFU Scotland Next Generation Chair Pete Moss said: “It is great to see the next generation of agricultural businesses thinking about how they can address both the climate and biodiversity crises. These issues will be the biggest influencers on how we farm in the future, as we respond to the challenge of reducing greenhouse emissions across the country and halting biodiversity loss.“The public want high quality food, but they also want it to be produced in an environmentally friendly manner that benefits our soils, water and wildlife. Delivering on this presents huge opportunities for the sector. “To do this we need investment sourced from both public and private funding. This webinar will explore how accessing green finance can support farms and crofts in improving business efficiency and productivity within the context of the Green Economic Recovery from COVID-19.” EndsContact Bob Carruth on 0131 472 4006

A dairy farmer’s son, I joined NFU Scotland in 1999 after 13 years as an agricultural journalist. Following spells as a regional manager and policy lead on milk, livestock and animal health and welfare, I became Communications Director in 2008.
