National charity The Farming Community Network (FCN) has launched a new resilience checklist to help farmers and farm businesses review some of the common components of business and personal resilience – helping them to identify strengths and highlight areas where additional information or support may be beneficial.
The Greenzone Checklist is available from FCN’s FarmWell website and contains helpful information around a wide array of topics relating to business, health, forward-planning and community connections.
Users can download or print off the checklist and examine which areas are ‘in hand’ and where they might benefit from investigating further.
Topics include partnership agreements, business objectives, work-life balance, diet and exercise, succession planning and links with local communities.
Dr Jude McCann, Chief Executive Officer of The Farming Community Network (FCN), said: “Since launch, FarmWell has supported thousands of farmers in exploring their options and planning ahead. We are delighted to now be launching the Greenzone Checklist through FarmWell, which is an easy-to-use way of assessing what’s going well on the farm, and areas that might be beneficial to explore further. This is part of FCN’s proactive work to support farmers’ health, wellbeing and business resilience and to help people to explore their options.”
