About the Event
Our work in 2022 has set the cluster up for significant improvements to farm businesses and the environment. The core projects and events continue into 2023 but our members are also embarking on a range of new opportunities, be they Landscape Recovery, Biodiversity Net Gain, SFI, CS 'extended' or shifts in farm systems.
The AGM agenda will include:
- Existing projects (notably the Soil Carbon Baselining, Bird Feeding, Lyneham stream habitat creation, Windrush Floodplain Meadow Restoration and NEIRF natural capital finance projects);
- Landscape Recovery overview as the two year Project Development Phase commences
- Cluster governance and finance
- Your suggestions for the 2023 events topics
- A light lunch
