Share your thoughts on wellbeing in farming

WELLBEING charity Farmstrong Scotland has launched its annual survey for 2025.

Last year’s findings revealed over one third of farmers and crofters across Scotland reported low wellbeing levels.

In direct response to these findings, Farmstrong developed comprehensive sleep and stress resources on their website.

Launching this year’s survey, director Alix Ritchie said: “This year’s results will be crucial in guiding our next phase of work.

“We’ll be able to see whether our sleep and stress resources are having the impact we hoped for, and identify emerging wellbeing priorities. Every response helps us build a clearer picture of what Scottish farmers and crofters need to thrive, which directly influences the resources we develop and how we deliver our support, so I’d encourage as many people as possible to take part and spread the word.”

The survey is open to all farmers and members of the wider agricultural community across Scotland. It can be completed online at www.farmstrongscotland.org.uk/ or request a paper copy via [email protected].

It takes approximately ten minutes to complete and is open until November 28.
