Events
The Scottish Farm Advisory Service runs a range of free events, both online and in-person.
Our events are a great way to pick up free advice and guidance, and also give you the opportunity to meet other people from across the agricultural community to share ideas and network. If the event is a webinar then you’re attending as a viewer only but if it’s a meeting then the video conference software we use means that, should you want to, you can switch your camera on and interact with other attendees.
