Introduction to the School of Sustainable Food and Farming
Securing a sustainable and profitable farming and food system through educating, inspiring and empowering current and future farmers to work towards reducing emissions, enhancing nature and developing more climate-friendly businesses.
Sustainable Farm Networks
The Sustainable Farm Networks (SFN) aims to address farming challenges through a coordinated approach to Farm Demonstration activity in the UK.
It is a huge time for farming: there are so many positive steps we can do now to positively change the future.
Our vision: educating, inspiring and empowering current and future farmers to achieve net zero within a sustainable farming and food system.
The School of Sustainable Food and Farming (SSFF) is a community of organisations and people with a desire to see a profitable, productive and sustainable future for the UK agricultural industry.
Our aims:
- Equip farmers with skills, knowledge and training needed to become fully sustainable on all parameters: economic, environmental and social.
- Be a trusted source of information to demystify the journey to net zero and sustainable farming - talk a common language about sustainable agricultural systems.
- Work to improve farm practice and the farm data to track progress on greenhouse gas emissions reduction, sequestration, and broader sustainability metrics such as biodiversity, water and soils.
- Encourage new entrants into the farming and food industry, and a diversity of entrepreneurial talent to support the aims.
