Whole-farm plans shouldn’t sit in a drawer. Join NFFN CEO Martin Lines, Kate Mitchell (RM Mitchell Farm & Vet), and Ian Davies (retired farmer) for an honest, friendly chat on using your plan to drive real improvements—beyond ticking compliance boxes. Three 10-minute talks + Q&A, practical tips you can use tomorrow.

Whole-farm plans are valuable—when they’re used. This informal, info-packed session explores how to move from paperwork to practice. Expect straight talk, practical examples, and space to ask questions.

Speakers:

Martin Lines will share where whole farm planning can take you next: resilience, profitability, nature outcomes and team buy-in—not just compliance.

Kate Mitchell (RM Mitchell Farm & Vet) will show how she and her husband plan and implement a living farm plan, what they track, and how they keep it useful without adding admin burden.

Ian Davies will reflect on the mental load of “planning for compliance’s sake” and offer simple ways to make the best of the system you’ve got.
