Academic/Research Enquiries

Please look at the Agroecology Research Collaboration to see if it fits your area of research/work.

Membership Support / Advice

Currently the LWA does not have capacity or resources to help individual members or potential members on their specific projects, farms or programmes. We get a lot of requests for individual support and would love to have the time to respond to each request in full. We are fundraising for a new role for somebody to focus on membership support and services as we have identified it is a gap in our offering so please watch this space. Having said that, if your query is critical and urgent please email info@staging.landworkersalliance.org.uk including the word URGENT in the subject header and it will get picked up and we can try our best to help.

Mentoring

 

MENTORING

**THE PILOT PROGRAMME IS NOW CLOSED. WE ARE CURRENTLY EVALUATING THE PROGRAMME AND ANY FUTURE PROGRAMME WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER**
More info about the pilot mentoring programme:
The mentoring scheme partnered new entrants with experienced practitioners for support in setting up and enterprises and troubleshooting in the first years of operation. This two year pilot scheme was a partnership between the Landworkers’ Alliance, the Organic Growers Alliance, CSA Network and Ecological Land Coop.
The first year ran from April – December 2020, and the second from January – September 2021. The mentoring offered was be a combination of group mentoring in small groups and one-on-one mentoring, and also included a group gathering and webinar sessions.
The mentoring programme was open to people who have been running a business (or who have a decision making role in a farming business) for less than five years. The programme was open to people who are farming to organic principles/agroecologically across all different farming sectors and we encouraged people from different parts of the country and sectors to apply. 
About mentoring
A mentoring relationship between experienced practitioners and new entrants in the first years of running a land-based enterprise is extremely valuable and can have a significant impact on the development of the business and the success of the new entrant.
