Webinars offer steps to building a new business

A webinar series has been designed to direct agricultural businesses through the journey of a new start.

The summer series of webinars has been organised by SAC Consulting – part of Scotland’s Rural College, on behalf of the .

They will cover everything from sourcing finance and buying farmland to building relationships and tackling climate change.

Climate change expert Frank M Mitloehner, a Professor and Air Quality Specialist from the University of California, will talk about the cow carbon cycle and the role livestock plays in the challenge of nourishing a growing global population.

Other speakers include Andrew Marchant, an award-winning New Entrant, who will talk about the relationships he has developed building and running Clonhie with his wife Aileen, and Alistair Christie, a partner at Galbraiths, who has a wealth of experience in the sale and purchase of farmland.

Kirsten Williams, Sheep and Beef Consultant at SAC Consulting, said: “We have designed this series of summer webinars to replace face-to-face meetings due to Covid-19 restrictions.

“It will take people who are starting a new venture on a journey from sourcing finance and acquiring land, to building relationships, resilient systems and implementing changes for climate change.

“These webinars will be applicable to new and existing farmers across Scotland.â€

The webinars have been designed as a series, but participants can also tune into specific events of interest to them.

The live hour-long webinars will be held every Wednesday from 17 June to 5 August, between 8pm 9pm. While live attendance is encouraged, recordings will be available online after the event.
