Welcome to Farmstrong Scotland.
Farming and crofting, like many other professions, is a job with plenty of challenges and rewards. There's always ups-and-downs. To farm and croft well, you need to live well and that is where Farmstrong Scotland comes in. Through peer-to-peer stories and tips, supported by science, the programme will provide a range of insights and tools so you can make small changes, that will deliver big impact.

Blog“The recent Farmstrong Scotland Tour, which RSABI also supported, reminded us to notice the small things for our well-being, and when I am out on my bike it’s those things that stay with me when I get home. Whether it is the wildlife and nature, the glistening water, someone offering a simple smile of encouragement or the wind on my face, it really does put a spring in my step.”
Colin Ferguson
Dairy Farmer & NFU Scotland Dumfries & Galloway Chairman
"I make a point of making an effort to talk to someone, even just setting a goal of asking one person about how their family is doing. It might seem like such a small and simple thing but it is all about "connecting" – improving wellness is often one thousand small improvements rather than one silver bullet."
