This year our Annual Field Day will take place on Thursday the 21st September 2023
A day for farmers by farmers sharing experiences for improving performance and resilience in a challenging environment.
We are grateful to Julian Gold and the Hendred Estate for kindly hosting this conference at the Hendred Estate Farm, Oxfordshire on the edge of the Berkshire Downs (W3W/roosters.bleak.earl).
- During the day we will showcase all the ways in which farmers are already changing farming practice to respond to the need to reduce emissions and build on farm carbon within resilient farm businesses.
- We will also share our insights from the work we are doing supporting farmers to reduce GHG emissions and remove carbon into soils and biomass. This involves key elements of the transition to a nature friendly decarbonisation of agriculture.
- Discussions of how farmers we have collaborated with have reduced emissions whilst improving resilience.
- The winners of the Carbon Farmer of the Year competition will be announced, a new competition which we launched this year. To find out more about the competition and information on how you can apply or nominate head here.
