In Scotland, 98% of land is classed as rural, and 73% of that land is farmed. This makes Scotland’s farmers a vital part of the solution to the global challenge of restoring climate, nature and health.
Our farming programmes and resources are leading a transition to agroecology by bringing farmers, land managers, industry members, researchers and other experts together at events, in working groups and in field labs to share best practice and try new things for true climate-friendly farming.

The Mob Grazing Operational Group are developing a benchmarking system to measure how mob grazing can build soil carbon, improve animal health and performance, reduce the costs of straw and winter feed and increase biodiversity. They will share how they 'do' mob grazing along the way.
We support and enable farmers, land managers and crofters in Scotland to adopt more sustainable land management practices.
