Training to engage farmers in Social Farming for the economic benefit and sustainability of the farm and the rural community.
Social Farming, also known as Care Farming or Farming for Health offers farmers the opportunity to use their agricultural expertise and resources to provide health (mental and physical), social or educational care support services.
The farm remains a working farm where people who need care support benefit from participating in farm activities in a non-clinical environment.
ENGAGING FARMERS IN SOCIAL FARMING (SoEngage)
Social Farming offers people who are socially, physically, mentally or intellectually disadvantaged the opportunity to spend time on a farm in a healthy, supportive and inclusive environment.
The SoEngage project partners have shared their Social Farm expertise to create a comprehensive set of online self-learning training resources.
TRAINING
The training aims to support farmers engage in Social Farming by developing their knowledge to deliver a professional service for the economic benefit and sustainability of both the farm and the rural community.
The training Modules and Case Studies include real examples of Social Farms across the partner regions.
