Switch on to Energy Crops
Lantra Awards has developed a two day integrated training and assessment course directed mainly at farmers and landowners. Our course is designed to help increase knowledge and understanding of the industry including both the financial and environmental gains that can be made with growing energy crops.
Directed mainly at farmers and landowners, it will help increase knowledge and understanding of the industry including both the financial and environmental gains that can be made with growing energy crops.
