Webinar: Climate adaptation and resilience within the farm business

Provided by

Lloyds Bank is committed to being a leading UK commercial bank for sustainable growth, helping our clients’ transition to sustainable business models and operations, and to pursue clean growth opportunities.

We fund the Woodland Trust’s MOREwoods and MOREhedges schemes to help landowners plant trees and hedgerows as part of the transition to a low-carbon future.

Trees should be in every farmer’s toolbox. They boost productivity, resilience and the health of the environment – with no need to trade off with production.

If you’re looking to plant lots of trees, the Woodland Trust has the trees, grants and funding schemes to help. Their expert advisers can help you put the right trees in the right place to achieve your goals.

On Thursday 27 April 2023, Farmers Weekly hosted its webinar on climate adaptation and resilience within the farm business with the Woodland Trust.

Integrating trees into farming systems provides opportunities to help future-proof your farm against the impacts of climate change.

The webinar offered insights from three farmers who are putting this into practice and allowed our attendees to ask questions and hear about possible funding sources.

In addition, the webinar covered:

  • Delivering for Farming, Biodiversity and Climate
  • Farming innovation in practice with trees
  • How trees can be integrated into productive systems
  • The role of trees in improving productivity and resilience of farming systems.

Our panel experts were:

  • Abi Reader – third-generation dairy farmer and NFU Cymru deputy president
  • Stephen Briggs – farmer discussing silvo-arable (organic) 3D farming
  • Emily Hunter – Woodland Trust policy advocate.

The webinar was hosted by beef and arable farmer, Farmers Weekly columnist, and Oxford Farming Conference 2024 chair Will Evans.
