Tenant Farming Forum
The Tenant Farming Forum is an industry-led organisation that exists to help promote a healthy farm tenanted sector in Scotland. It is independently chaired by Professor Jeff Maxwell.
The Forum promotes constructive dialogue in an area long known for antipathy and distrust, ensuring there is a good source of simple factual information available on agricultural tenancy and letting issues. As the key body effectively representing all sides of the tenant farming sector, its collective views and recommendations carry considerable weight. The Forum maintains an independent website providing authorative guidance on complex tenancy and legislative matters.
Forum membership comprises two senior figures from each of the following organisations:
In addition, Scottish Government officials and a representative of the Law Commission for Scotland attend Forum meetings as observers.
Forum representatives actively promote the Tenant Farming Forum objectives within their own organisations.
