Whole Farm Plans on Organic Farms: Crop and Livestock Focus

Watch our webinar covering what Whole Farm Plans are, with an outline of the new requirements, and how organic crop and livestock management plans help organic farmers to deliver high animal welfare and embed nature-based solutions over pesticide use.  

Soil Association Certification Officer Marc Dunn explores what is involved in producing both plans, and how elements of each are linked to the other key areas – biodiversity, carbon, and soil – of a Whole Farm Plan.

Organic farmers have always taken a whole-farm approach to protecting the environment and we are delighted that the benefits they deliver are being recognised by Scottish Government. Farmers and crofters are under pressure to deliver for nature and climate, but organic is increasingly an obvious solution with UK demand for organic products rising and backing from government.
