Farming Connect service

Farming Connect is a prominent agricultural support service specifically designed for farmers and forestry businesses in Wales. It provides a wide range of resources including technical advice, business support, and training to help improve the efficiency and profitability of the Welsh agricultural sector. The program focuses on key areas such as animal health, soil management, and carbon footprint reduction.

Originally established as part of the rural development strategy for Wales, the brand is deeply rooted in Welsh agricultural policy and is delivered through a partnership approach. It is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development. The service is a critical component of the Welsh Government's efforts to ensure a sustainable and competitive future for the nation's farming and forestry industries.

The ultimate owner and controlling entity of Farming Connect is the Welsh Government. While the strategic oversight is provided by the government, the day-to-day delivery of the services is managed by Menter a Busnes, an independent Welsh economic development company. This structure ensures that the service remains professional, localized, and directly responsive to the needs of the Welsh farming community.
