Growers Leading Change is a knowledge exchange programme that encourages arable farmers to consider, develop and introduce new ideas, technologies and ways of working.

Details about each of the groups can be found at the bottom of this page.

Growers Leading Change (GLC) is a FAR knowledge exchange approach which allows FAR levy payers to form facilitated discussion group. These groups, known as Arable Growth Groups (AGGs) provide opportunities for:

Growers to share information, experience and expertise to improve the sustainability of their farm businesses, their communities and the arable industry as a whole.
Delivering technical information to meet the specific needs of a network of arable discussion groups, trial and demonstration farms.
Addressing agronomic, environmental or financial issues or opportunities, and supported by trained facilitators.

Resources developed by and for GLC groups

GLC groups have been meeting since early 2021, and in that time, many have developed resources and summaries. If you are interested in these resources, you can find a list, with links to open and read, or download them, here.

*The first Growers Leading Change (GLC) programme began in October 2020 with the support of MPI's Sustainable Food and Fibre Futures Fund. That project has now been completed, and FAR is using the the knowledge exchange platform established by GLC to continue it working with a number of grower group.
