Planning your farm diversification

When planning your diversification there are a number of different considerations you should make, from how you want to diversify to making sure that you have the right insurance cover in place. Find out more through our farm diversification planning tool below.

What is farm diversification?

In a nutshell, farm diversification is seeking innovative ways to use your existing assets to create diverse revenue streams and spread risk. Many farmers are choosing to diversify their farming activities in an effort to boost income, build resilience and future-proof their farms for generations to come through innovative and occasionally unexpected ideas - and over time, this approach is becoming more and more popular.

If you’re considering a diversification project for your farm, or have already done so but are unsure on next steps, we've developed a diversification planning tool to provide useful hints, tips and advice. You can also find out how your local NFU Mutual agency office can support you on your diversification journey.

We recommend you contact your NFU Mutual Agent

By diversifying your farm activities you may be exposing yourself to risks that aren't currently covered by your existing farm insurance policy.

A conversation with your NFU Mutual Agent can help you to understand any new risks you might be exposed to as a result of these activities and help you to make sure you have the right cover in place.

In the next step you can request a call back from your agency office, who are ready to support you on your diversification journey.
