Farm Diversification Insurance
What is diversification on farm?
Many farmers are diversifying their businesses by introducing other commercial income streams alongside their core farm activities
Around 50% of UK farms run some kind of diversified activities in their farming business and these generate an average of £10,400 extra revenue per farm. Other benefits include:
- Maximise your farm's physical resources and characteristics
- Utilise your skills and the skills of your workers
- Increase your contribution to the local rural economy1
