Upscaling Agroecology
We are delighted to be one of the six projects to have received funding from The Scottish Government Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF).
SAP programmes
Our new SAP collaborative project: Upscaling Agroecology, led by Soil Association Scotland and delivered across Scotland by the SAP partners, will promote agroecological and organic farming practices through:
- On-farm workshops
- Online webinars and resources
- A national Agroecology conference
- A brand-new podcast mini-series.
Many farmers tell us they are looking for ways to build resilience and sustainability, but don’t always know where to start or how approaches could be implemented on their own farms.
This new programme will showcase what agroecological and organic systems can look like in practice, explore the principles behind them and provide opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and support.
The project will aim to use a joined-up approach to delivery and dissemination, and build lasting peer networks to support the adoption of sustainable farming systems.
This project is funded by The Scottish Government through the Knowledge Transfer and Innovation Fund (KTIF) which supports projects that promote skills development or deliver improvements in business practice, resource efficiency, environmental performance and sustainability.
SAP is a collaboration of organisations rapidly becoming the voice for agroecology in Scotland which aims to ‘make agroecology central to farming, crofting and growing in Scotland’.
