Land Business Magazine | Autumn/Winter 2024

Our Autumn/Winter 2024 edition of Land Business magazine is now available. It brings you the latest insight and advice on how estates, farms and other rural businesses are innovating, adapting and growing to future-proof their operations.

The overall theme of this edition is building resilience as we believe this is what will underpin the long-term prosperity of estates and farming businesses. It’s a topic which is extremely multi-faceted, straddling everything from climate adaptation and risk management to finding new income streams from development opportunities, renewables and natural capital. To us, a resilient business is one that is doing the basics brilliantly, while also having the vision to turn adversity into opportunity.

Topics included in this issue are:

• Autumn Budget – Our initial thoughts on the changes announced in the Budget
