CLA South West  – From Forces to Farming Online seminar
Tuesday 9 February 2021 – 4:30pm – 7:00pm

Are you a farmer or do you run an estate? Do you have a forestry, shooting or fishing enterprise? Do you run a golf club? Are you an historic house owner with a garden open to the public? Are you an horticultural or aquaculture business? Is there no family member to take over your farm? Are you a National Park Authority? Do you run an equine business? Are you looking for a share farmer? Do you need reliable, self-motivated employees used to hard work in all winds and weathers? Can you offer someone work experience?

If so, this online seminar is for you.

British agriculture, food and the wider land-based sector is changing rapidly. Emerging technology, structural changes and a new regulatory framework provide exciting new opportunities at all levels for people with diverse prior experience. Ex-military personnel have many of the skills and attributes needed at this time of immense change.

This online event will introduce farmers, landowners and rural businesses to the benefits of employing ex-military personnel in a range of land-based roles.
