What happened
A four-year program has begun in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park Authority, running from 2026 to 2030. Three farms—Glen Finglas, Shemore, and Portnellan—have been selected to test climate-resilient farming methods. The initiative aims to help farms adapt to unpredictable weather while improving soil health and business performance.
Why it matters
The program provides tailored support, including financial analysis and audits, to strengthen rural businesses in Scotland. By testing methods like grazing-led restoration and utilizing long-term animal data, the network intends to provide a model for rural communities across the National Park.
