The UK Government is offering specific and personalized business support for farmers during the

Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (defra), the
Future Farming Resilience Fund is offering grants to organisations who help farmers and land managers to:
- Understand the changes that are happening
- Identify how, what and when they may need to adapt their business models, and
- Access tailored support to adapt.
The aim of the programme is to give farmers and land managers the direction and support they need to make the best decisions for their farms, families and future.
