The Biodynamic Association (BDA) is launching its new Mentor Scheme, and we're looking for experienced voices from across agroecology to step up and support the next wave of biodynamic practitioners.

🔹 You’ll be paired with a mentee working on a biodynamic project or transition
🔹 Provide 8 hours of support per mentee
🔹 Support can be in-person (preferred), phone, email or video
🔹 You choose when and whom to support
🔹 You’re free to decline any mentoring request

💷 What You’ll Receive
Each 8-hour mentoring package includes:

£200 honorarium (a thank-you payment)
£50 travel allowance

🌍 Who Can Apply?
We welcome mentors from across the agroecology field, including (but not limited to):

Marketing
Business planning
Grass-fed practices
Propagation
Protected cropping
On-farm processing
Machinery and systems

If your experience can help land-based businesses thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
