Much of RDI's work is based around the excellent understanding that we have of the UK's diverse farming sector and the challenges and opportunities facing it. This stems from the passion we have to work with farmers, our willingness to engage with individuals and groups in the farming sector (whatever the location and weather!) and the credibility which our experienced staff bring. We have a few folk from farming families on the staff which often helps!
We have been involved with a wide range of farming related projects from the outset. Many of these have stemmed from the presence of undermanaged woods on farms, and we have developed a range of projects and interventions to not only bring these woodlands back into better management but also generate a return for farmers.
Working with farmers and others in the agriculture sector on behalf of partners is a core competency for RDI. You can find out more about some of the practical ways we've been helping farming enterprises by viewing the projects below.
