Abstract

UK agriculture is full of examples of farmer meetings, discussion groups, workshops and knowledge transfer. Farming advisors run many events and workshops to help farmers improve and progress, however, the true potential of holding farmer meetings is not being realised. Facilitation can be a valuable addition to an otherwise ‘business as usual’ meeting. It can help groups to share ideas and challenges and ensure everyone has an equal voice. Facilitators and their array of tools and activities harness the available expertise at meetings to support change. By adopting a more facilitatory communication style and various discussion tool activities, advisors can improve the outcomes from existing farmer meetings and discussion groups.
