Farming for the Generations Succession Planning Programme

Help for farming family businesses to develop a succession plan and consider what development the successor might need to take over the business.

Who it is for

Open to family-run farming businesses in Northern Ireland.

Support you can get

This programme is built on a three-phased approach:

  • planning for succession
  • developing the successor(s)
  • giving support for both generations throughout the transition process

The scheme provides:

  • awareness sessions and workshops
  • mentoring
  • financial support

Recognising that not all farm businesses have a clear successor within the family, the scheme will also facilitate connections for farmers seeking alternative succession arrangements. This includes exploring partnership opportunities with new entrants or other farming businesses to allow for continued use of farm assets such as land and other essential resources.
