Minister O’Neill said: “These courses are designed to help farmers and family farm members investigate farm diversification business ideas.
“Each programme consists of six evening workshops aimed at helping participants assess the financial and market feasibility of their diversification proposal.
“During the course participants are supported by a business mentor who will help them draft a business plan which can then be used to explore funding options for their new idea.”
