NFU President Tom Bradshaw
NFU President Tom Bradshaw
Welcome to this year’s NFU Conference, a pivotal gathering in the farming calendar that brings together farmers and growers, politicians and policymakers, and key industry stakeholders.
This year, after 12 months of momentous change for farming, the NFU Conference returns to Westminster for the first time in over two decades.
At this critical time, it seems right that we are meeting where so many important decisions impacting the future of farming families across the United Kingdom are taken.
Our Conference this year focuses on what farmers and growers need to build a confident and forward looking sector and, after the last six months, rebuilding trust.
Our sessions will focus on the foundations needed for growth: growth in investment, growth in exports, growth in technology and R&D.
We are excited to welcome leaders in their respective fields, offering insights that will inspire and motivate us to adopt new ideas and approaches in our farming practices.
The clear message for all is that farmers and growers are ready to embrace the changes needed for growth – but are politicians, regulators and the supply chain ready to change and adopt ways of working that support a thriving food and farming sector?
