About the event

Event Description

Join us as we introduce six new 'Farming for Nature Ambassadors' who have embraced innovative practices that balance agriculture with nature.

There will be a chance to view footage showcasing their farms, where a commitment to environmental stewardship takes centre stage. Then hear from the ambassadors, who are exploring firsthand the effectiveness of farming methods that prioritise biodiversity, sustainability and resilience on an environmental and economic level. Don't miss this opportunity to glean valuable insights, share experiences, and be inspired by the potential of "Farming for Nature."
