Farm Start Network
Er mwyn goresgyn rhai o’r rhwystrau sy’n wynebu newydd ddyfodiaid yn y sector amaeth, mae Cynghrair Gweithwyr y Tir yn cydweithio ag aelod-sefydliadau sy’n rhedeg prosiectau ‘farm start’ neu ‘farm incubation’ o bob cwr o’r DU i ddatblygu rhwydwaith arfer orau ac annog gwaith i ddatblygu cyfleoedd newydd.
Mae Farmstarts yn cynnig cyfle pwysig i bobl roi prawf ar eu syniadau ffermio a thyfu mewn amgylchedd gwarchodedig, tra’n adeiladu ar eu gwybodaeth, eu sgiliau, eu hyder a’u profiad er mwyn symud ymlaen i’w fferm neu ardd fasnach eu hunain. Trwy gynnig mynediad at dir, marchnadoedd, offer a hyfforddiant, mae farmstarts yn tynnu llawer o’r risg ariannol a’r straen oddi ar newydd ddyfodiaid yn ystod y camau cynnar hanfodol hyn, gan eu galluogi i ganolbwyntio ar ddarganfod pa fath o fusnes sy’n gweithio orau iddyn nhw.
Mae Farmstarts yn llwybr mynediad pwysig i fyd amaeth, ac yn llenwi bwlch yn y cyfleoedd sydd ar gael i newydd ddyfodiaid. Yn achos y mwyafrif, bydd cymryd cyfle farmstart yn dilyn ymlaen o ryw fath o hyfforddiant a phrofiad gwaith ar fferm, ac yn rhoi iddynt gyfnod o ychydig flynyddoedd i roi prawf ar eu syniadau yn y byd go iawn cyn cymryd camau pellach i sefydlu eu busnes eu hunain ar sail hirdymor.
To support the development of more farm start sites we have produced a guide and set of case studies to provide some best practice guidelines, based on the experiences of established organisations. Alongside this handbook we have established a network of farmstart organisations that can share experiences and support one another in the spirit of mutual aid and solidarity.

Political Training and Movement Building
We organise trainings for groups of members to build skills and knowledge in influencing political decisions and policy making, and in organising and movement building.
Our political trainings are focused on building a stronger understanding of the history of agricultural policy and the ways in which political and policy decisions can be influenced. We aim to build members confidence in working with decision makers and the media.
Our movement building trainings are aimed at building skills in union organising, facilitating meetings and organising events, as well as understanding the history and objectives of the Landworkers’ Alliance.
