National Care Farming Initiative National Care Farming Initiative

About NCFI(UK)

Care farming is still in its early stages of development in the UK, although  numbers of farms are growing.  Farmers that have been offering on-farm health, education and welfare services for people in need have often felt isolated in the absence of a national network.

The NCFI(UK) seeks to offer providers the benefits of collaborative action:-

  • awareness raising and mutual support
  • marketing through a dedicated national website
  • insurance, health and safety and other advice
  • networking events and opportunities to share best practice
  • advocacy and government policy development
  • training opportunities
  • building the evidence base by co-ordinating research
  • providing a portal for commissioners of care to contact care farming practitioners
