Who are they?
The Yorkshire and Humber Rural Advice and Information Network (RAIN) has been developed as part of the regions' Sustainable Farming and Food Plan 'Framework for Change' and has been part funded through the Countryside Agency.
The web site will play a key role in linking together individuals and organisations to make accessible a broad range of advisory services and support mechanisms. It will enable and promote the adoption of a 'no wrong door' attitude across a broad range of advisers in the region so when presented with a query or identifying an issue / opportunity for a farm or rural business they should be able to sign-post to 'the adviser who can'.
In 2007 project funding changed and the site is being merged with another project run bythe Framework for Change team.
