How we work
FERN is run by a small core team supported by a network of associates, advisers and partner organisations. Stakeholders can convene meetings and develop projects in tandem with the core organisation, so that work is led by the people closest to it.
FERN is not a traditional membership organisation. Its views are independent, and the views expressed in FERN publications are those of the authors.
Our stakeholders
- Local rural networks
- Rural start-up entrepreneurs
- Academics and journalists
- Local action groups (LAGs)
- Stakeholder organisations
- Local and regional councils
- Agricultural and rural researchers
