A new event is setting out to drive change towards a more sustainable, resilient and secure food system in the UK through reduced dependency on imported soya. This event is part of the Nitrogen Climate Smart Project, in which the Farm Carbon Toolkit is a project partner.
‘From Soya to Sustainability’ will bring together farmers, processors, manufacturers, researchers, policymakers and industry leaders to explore innovative strategies for integrating beans and other pulses into livestock diets.
Highlights of the landmark event include:
- Thought-provoking key-note speakers: Be challenged by influential thought leaders calling for urgent change in our food systems
- Expert panels: Be inspired by the latest research and innovations in the cultivation and use of pea and bean crops
- Networking opportunities: Connect with like-minded experts from across the supply chain
“This event is a call to action for all in the agri-food supply chain to play their part in
the move from soya to sustainability,” said Roger Vickers of PGRO which leads the
NCS Project that is coordinating the event.
“Growing more pulse crops in the UK and using them in livestock feed would help
tackle our dependency on imported soya while also promoting agricultural practices
that benefit farmers and the environment. There are multiple wins, but it is not an
easy fix.
“We need urgent and concerted action across the supply chain if we are to make a
difference. I encourage anyone working in the agri-food supply chain to attend and
be part of a movement for change.”
