The New Organic Entrepreneurs Programme

The Soil Association is piloting a new seven-month, UK-wide programme designed to support new entrants in organic business. It will bring together training on business skills, mentoring and peer learning, with a goal of rolling out a bigger programme to scale next year.

“We hope to assist as broad and diverse a group of people as possible in building sustainable organic businesses that will support them to thrive. The programme will also include support to those working towards organic certification. Our wider goal is to build the organic movement, developing and growing the ecosystem needed for all to flourish through a spirit of cooperation and collaboration.”
