Chats With LANSS, with Adam Day, MD of the Farmer
Network

Tracey Jackson, Manager of the Land + Nature Skills Service (LANSS), sat down to chat with Adam Day, Managing Director of the Farmer Network, to talk about the Farmer Network's role as a partner of LANSS and what they would like the future of skills and training in the land and nature-based sectors within Cumbria to look like.

Adam grew up in a hill farming community on the northern edge of the Lake District National Park. He has worked as an Auctioneer and Land Agent across Cumbria for 37 years.

Adam shared his aspirations for the partnership with LANSS, saying “I am keen to work with LANSS to help the farming community learn nature-based skills as a personal opportunity, but also to further support farming and the natural environment within it. Equally, I am keen to help the conservation community to learn and appreciate essential farming knowledge. To me, providing multi-functional opportunities to embrace farming and environmental skills is equally important within the balanced landscapes we seek.”
