Benefits
At least two plenary sessions each year, at which presentations are given by speakers of national or even international standing on issues of immediate or developing significance for the rural economy.
Added lobbying power, in being able to ally your organisation or interest with the whole of the land based sector in the region.
The opportunity to meet and network with everyone who is anyone in the South West countryside, rural development and agricultural scene, including all the key statutory bodies.
The opportunity to take part in seminars, briefings and consultation sessions on the rural issues of the day, and ensure that your particular point of view is incorporated in the CoRE response.
Regular communications, such as newsletters and e-bulletin bringing you up to date with news, events and progress (e.g. Sustainable Farming and Food).
The main purpose of the South West Rural Affairs Forum (SW RAF) is to bring together rural stakeholders within the South West region to inform and monitor the regional and local delivery of Government policy in rural areas.
The distinction between SW CoRE and the SW RAF is that SW CoRE has a more economic focus for the land-based sector, whereas the SW RAF covers the broader rural spectrum including the work of the Rural Community Councils. The two regional bodies are working closely together to ensure synergy and complimentarity..
