Land Management Business Resilience

This page brings together content related to our Land Management Business Resilience project (LaMB). The project aims to develop support for farmers and land managers in the East Midlands, to help them build their business resilience to severe weather and climate change. The project is funded by the Environment Agency and delivered in partnership with the Defra-funded Farming Advice Service.

The project is described in more detail here.

Additional resources will be made available as the project progresses. Currently the following resources are available:

Weathering the Storm - Saving and Making Money in a Changing Climate. A guide for farmers and land managers in the East Midlands.
