Land Based Sector Materials

The materials available for downloading from this webpage have resulted from consultation and piloting across the land-based sector.

These materials provide the basis for a one day professional development course which delivers a systems approach to sustainable development and illustrates how this can be applied to professional practice. Because the land-based sector is so diverse (LANTRA convene 17 different industry groups in the sector) these materials have been constructed in such a way that they can be adapted to specific audiences within the sector by changing the content of the pre-course reading and the case studies.
The materials presented here are focused on professionals working in horticulture.
