Welcome to the RuralNI farm diversification section

Maybe you already have a good idea for diversifying your farm business. Perhaps you are here to pick up pointers, or see what kind of options you have. You could even be studying farm diversification as part of a course. This section of the RuralNI web site provides guidance on all aspects of farm diversification.

The Rural Development Programme (RDP) aims to improve the quality of life in rural areas by supporting a wide range of projects including Farm Diversification. Under this scheme we aim to increase farm household income and create employment opportunities by providing assistance for farm households to diversify into non-agricultural activities on farm.
