What is Resilient & Ready?
Resilient & Ready is an, action-packed three-year programme of training, technical support and mentoring to support farmers to becoming industry leaders in more sustainable, regenerative farming.
What does the programme look like?
The programme, run in partnership by Corteva Agriscience and LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) aims to equip forward-looking, entrepreneurial farmers with the skills, know-how and confidence to develop their sustainable farming knowledge and embrace the very latest thinking to build business resilience. Participating farmers will be involved in trials, testing and events and discover the best ways to communicate and share knowledge throughout the programme.
