2. Farm waste
management
plans
Specialist technical
consultancy to tenant
farmers in upland areas
in the Midlands guided
the development of
site-specific waste
management plans to
reduce the potential risks
posed by the waste
products assessed.
This project supported
the reduction of
environmental pollution
risks in the local area
including those that
could impact on soil
and water quality.
Promar advisers have
delivered eight farm
visits, reports and
supporting soil and
manure sampling.
Technical and
legislative
advice
Experienced farmer-focused
advisers provide ongoing
technical and legislative
advice to private clients,
often over many years.
Recent work has focused
on changes to the
Common Agricultural
Policy and implementation
of the Basic Payment
Scheme and the new
Countryside Stewardship
schemes.
Other advice ranges from
business and financial
management, technical
production advice to land
management assessments.
Promar has over 40 internal
consultants and over 200
sub-contracted consultants
available across the UK to
support the development

sustainable land and
business management
objectives.

management
advice
Advice provided by
Promar consultants has
allowed farmers, land
managers and
landowners to implement
a range of land
management measures
designed to support the
conservation and
enhancement of rural
habitats and biodiversity.
This work has supported
the development of a
network of habitats
across England designed
to support biodiversity on
agricultural holdings.
Over the past four years,
Promar has delivered over
2,000 visits and reports
and over 20 events across
England to support this.

whether to pursue this
renewable energy
opportunity further.
