Farmer peer groups for skill sharing and mutual support

Farmers form peer groups to enhance resilience and technical efficiency through shared knowledge, innovation testing, and mutual support. Facilitated by professionals, these groups meet regularly to discuss challenges, share successes and failures, and co-create action plans. Organised by theme or location, they strengthen social networks, improve decision-making, and support sustainable practices. Meetings provide practical insights, reduce workload, and offer social benefits. The initiative, funded by the EU Horizon 2020 programme, promotes environmental sustainability, economic resilience, and improved animal welfare.
