WHOLE FARM PLANNING
STAY COMPLIANT AND PROTECT YOUR FUTURE WITH WHOLE FARM PLANNING
Staying on top of ever-changing regulations can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already juggling the day-to-day demands of running a farm.
As the agricultural industry becomes more regulated, there’s more pressure to manage multiple audits and collect the right data to access subsidies and grants that farmers rely on, including the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS).
Brought in by the Scottish Government, Scotland’s Whole Farm Plan requires farmers to provide detailed insight, consistent records and adopt a sustainable and strategic approach to how you manage your land, livestock and resources.
In this buyer’s guide, we’ll share how our Whole Farm Planning solutions allow you to get the data you need to unlock essential rural payments and manage your farm more effectively.
WHAT IS WHOLE FARM PLANNING?
A Whole Farm Plan is a comprehensive way to assess and improve the environmental, economic and operational performance of a farm or croft.
Introduced by the Scottish Government in 2025, the aim is to encourage farmers and crofters to measure the impact of their activities and identify areas where improvements can be made, focusing on these key areas:
Type of Audit
What’s Involved?
Who Does It Apply To?
