The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has awarded a three year contract to Countryside Services Limited (CSL) to deliver key knowledge transfer elements of the Farming for Sustainability Scheme.
CSL will support the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) delivering face-to-face training and themed peer-to-peer group facilitation to farm businesses across Northern Ireland.
“The appointment of Countryside Services will help ensure farmers have timely, practical and accessible training that supports productivity, environmental outcomes and resilience across the sector,”
The first training to be delivered by CSL will be associated with the Soil Nutrient Health Scheme. It is now necessary to complete this training to receive future Farm Sustainability Payments. If you have still to complete the training, you can do so, through online training at www.cafre.ac.uk. If you would prefer to complete the training in person, new dates and venues across the province and booking information can be found at www.cafre.ac.uk/snhs-training and at www.countrysideservices.com.
