Welcome to Transition – the Farmers Weekly initiative to secure a more financially and environmentally sustainable future for your farm business.

Farmers are first and foremost food producers. But these days, growers and livestock producers do much more too – and generate an income from it.

Many are working to improve biodiversity, soil health, air and water quality – and storing carbon to help mitigate the impact of climate change.

By pooling all our knowledge, the Farmers Weekly Transition hub aims to show how this can be achieved – and the pitfalls that should be avoided.

We are grateful to our Transition Farmers and to our Transition Partners who have agreed to share their experiences, expertise and advice.
