Would you like to enable and enliven your farm with a more resilient and transparent accounting system?

Join us for a day workshop with lunch and refreshments at Triodos Bank in Bristol. Triodos agriculture lead will share support systems for agriculture from
the bank.

Workshop Sessions led by Marcus Link co-founder and Co-CEO of New Foundation Farms, joined by colleague Edmund Suntcliffe & from the Apricot Centre, Bob Mehew, finance, business and project delivery specialist and permaculture practitioner.
