Since 2015, the Farming Connect Our Farms network, with support from sector specific industry experts, have been trialling and implementing more efficient, sustainable and profitable ways of managing their businesses.

The network includes 220 farms across Wales who are involved in different types of on-farm trails and projects focusing on innovation and new technologies to help them and other Welsh farms reach net zero by 2050, and to build both resilience and sustainability amid a changing climate.

Find out more about some of the farms involved in the network in the below video:
