Become an agroforestry ambassador

What is an agroforestry ambassador?

Are you a farmer or advisor passionate about agroforestry and keen to have an impact?

At the Soil Association we are committed to supporting more trees in farming and know that hearing first hand from those directly involved is a powerful tool for change.

Our ambassador program showcases the knowledge and skill of agroforestry innovators. It is flexible and responsive; we work with farmers in whichever way suits your skills and preferences.

Why should you be an ambassador?

• We pay an annual retainer of £500 to be a named agroforestry ambassador. Though you will not be tied to specific outcomes there is an expectation that you will be engaged and responsive.
• You get to build a closer relationship with our Farming and Land Use advisory team and our wide range of expertise from all sectors.
• You can build your profile and promote your farm business and expertise.
• We are building our wider Soil Association Ambassador programme so hope there will be further benefits on offer in due course (for example previous benefits including a media training course run by Just Farmers)
• Opportunity to take on further funded work under the ambassador brand, for instance co-ordinating learning networks or writing case studies.
• Finally, of course you can help us in our mission of increasing agroforestry in the UK.
