Day Two at #NFU17 sees an 8am start for our Early Bird Panels and a choice of six topics, all featuring the NFU experts working on your behalf.
Making the most of the Tenant Sector post-Brexit looks at the kind of framework which will allow tenant farming to survive and thrive in whatever market landscape it finds itself, covering the work of the NFU Tenants Forum over the last 12 months and focusing on what lies ahead.
If you work in the hills, The Future of the Upland Farmer provides the perfect start to the day. During the past year, the NFU Uplands Forum has worked with the RPA, Defra uplands team and other stakeholders to make sure your voice is heard at the highest levels. This session will look at those discussions and the wider post-Brexit future.
The NFU Organic Forum focuses on the opportunities and threats of the shifting post-Article 50 landscape in Organics: Growth in the face of Brexit, while our Environment Forum takes centre stage in What’s on the Horizon for the Farmed Environment?
