Events

Farm walkThe Soil Association continues to provide dedicated training events for farmers and growers across the UK, as well as providing technical support to other organisations and alerting Soil Association members about relevant non-Soil Association events.

Through our training events and wider services we aim to inspire and support new entrants to enter organic agriculture, to provide practical work-based training through our Organic Apprenticeship Scheme, as well as ongoing professional development for more established organic practicioners.

Our events focus on encouraging 'best practice' across all farming and growing sectors, disseminating current research, marketing support and market information, as well as creating new trading links and opportunities for all organic businesses.

When planning our programme we always include a broad range of expert speakers and the majority of our courses include a visit to a farm or site that displays 'best practice' in its field.
