The Partnership has identified 7 strategic outcomes to inform our first work plan. The activities set out in the work plan will help farmers, landowners and the rural communities they are part of to become more resilient to the impacts of climate change whilst supporting and retaining the vital role of managing land and producing sustainable food.
