Care Farming Scotland is a new initiative that aims to promote and support the development of care farming in Scotland. It was initiated by a group that includes representatives from the farming community, care practitioners, academics, the voluntary sector and the Scottish Government.
Care Farming Scotland consists of an enthusiastic Steering Group who are seeking to develop the initiative with the support of a range of organisations, businesses and individuals. We are all convinced that care farming is self-evidently a very good idea, but we realise that to make it work in Scotland we need to take a strategic approach to building the evidence base and developing the organisation in a way that will be most useful to farmers, practitioners and policymakers.
