Workshops across Scotland on Sustainable and Regenerative Agricultural Practices in Less Favoured Areas

24 January 2025, UK: The James Hutton Institute, in partnership with local hosts, has organised a series of workshops to gain a better understanding of what sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices are currently taking place in Less Favoured Areas (LFAs) around the country as part of a Scottish Government feasibility study.

Dr Alison Karley, a research leader in agroecology, from the Hutton said, “If you are farming or crofting in LFA land we would like to hear your views on what might be considered sustainable and regenerative practices, the feasibility of using such practices on your land and what types of support would help you.”

The workshop findings will inform the development of incentives for these practices in LFAs particularly those that deliver outcomes for carbon emissions reductions, peatland restoration, tree planting and woodland natural regeneration and biodiversity.

The free workshops, listed below, will run from 10 am to 2.30 pm with lunch and refreshments provided. To register please email Ali.Karley@hutton.ac.uk as soon as possible.

Tuesday 28th January | Nethy Bridge Community Centre
Friday 31st January | Isle of Lismore Public Hall
Tuesday 11th February | SRUC Barony’s Dairy Nexus building, Dumfries
