2024 Lincolnshire Farming Conference Announced 12 Jan
Every year the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society hosts the Lincolnshire Farming Conference and this year the event is taking place on Thursday 8th February. Where likeminded individuals in agriculture gather to discuss and exchange knowledge, ideas and innovations relating to industry trends, sustainability, practices, and technology as well as a specific topic as the main focus for each annual conference. This year’s theme is Future Farming Opportunities: Biodiversity & Carbon and will feature talks from several captivating speakers from the agricultural world.
The Lincolnshire Farming Conference brings together a selection of speakers highlighting some of the current environmental opportunities for the rural sector. Businesses will need to ensure they build resilience for future sustainability. Whatever the political party, the direction of travel is clear and focuses on looking to achieve the environmental targets that have been set, alongside the additional land uses of maintaining food and energy production and development.
