Future farming success – owning change
This year’s conference will explore some key elements to farming success in what is an ever-changing operating context. What are the practical ways which farmers and land managers can continue to manage change to their advantage? How do we focus on what can control and acknowledge what we can’t.
It all starts with the natural elements such as soil, water and air, and further down the line, market elements relating to processors and the supply chain, trade deals and macro-economic factors. And finally, farming produce ends up on the consumer’s plates impacting on the UK’s food basket, public health, and well-being.
These elements – always in flux - require a fine balance to ensure successful and sustainable farming. Without profitable farming, farmers can ill afford to ‘make good’ on environmental / climate change concerns. Is there a balance between the three pillars of sustainability: economics (profitability), environment and people?
