Supporting small producers
Small producers will be able to access a range of new support through a new government pilot to help them become more sustainable.
The Small Producers Pilot Fund has been allocated over £180,000 which will be used to assist small producers and crofters to establish more localized supply chains and cut food miles.
The funding will be used to:
- support two small-scale abbatoir projects
- establish a new information resource webpage for small producers
- develop a framework to assess small producers data
- procure a service to deliver training courses for small producers
