Collaboration at landscape scale: Farmer Clusters in Scotland

Join us for an exciting online discussion about the huge benefits and opportunities of collaborating at landscape scale

By Highland Good Food Partnership

Join us for this exciting online discussion about our new report and its findings - “Collaboration at landscape scale: Farmer Clusters in Scotland Project Report”. 

We will delve into the key ingredients for a successful farmer cluster, the potential barriers and solutions and the opportunities for new clusters in Scotland.

We have some brilliant speakers lined up to explore the theme:

Katherine Sharp (of Achpopuli Farm and facilitator of the Glen Urquhart Farmer Cluster) will be speaking of the highs, lows and learnings of setting up a new cluster.

Fred Swift (a South Clunes Farm member and facilitator of the West Loch Ness Farmer Cluster) will be sharing his experience of a successful and well-establised cluster.

Richard Lockett (of Lockett Agri-Environmental and contributing author of the report) will be exploring the wider context and exciting opportunities offered by the farm cluster concept.

Alistair Trail (of SAC Consulting) will be talking about the support available for producer collaborations via HIE's Food & Drink TechHUB.

We're looking forward to a lively Q&A session after our speakers' pieces to connect and discuss.

Join the conversation and explore how the farm cluster concept can benefit you and your area!
