Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP)

The SRDP has a vast array of options to consider, and can seem complicated and daunting.

Throughout your considerations on the SRDP you will benefit from seeking professional advice  - whether it is in preparing your SRDP application, tailoring your plans to meet regional objectives or co-operative working. 

SAC offers you professional and impartial guidance.  In addition, SAC has:

• consultants who are approved through Farm Business Advisor Accreditation Scotland Scheme (FBAASS).
• experienced staff with expertise of grant applications and Scottish Government schemes.
• the capability to address all the needs of your application -  from scoping your options, developing projects and preparing technical reports. 
• a proven track record for being at the forefront of providing consultancy services to the land-based and rural sectors.
• national coverage, and our network of 24 Farm & Rural Business Services offices ensures you have access to a consultant locally.

With services ranging from crop and livestock management and business advice to conservation, building design, food marketing and environmental planning, SAC has up-to-date knowledge and specialist capabilities to help you and your business succeed through SRDP.
