LEAF Conference 2025: Join in for crucial ag transition talks
Provided by
LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) is a charity that promotes and supports more sustainable farming to create a resilient food and farming system for future generations.
We connect: We connect farmers, innovators and industry to understand best practice sustainable farm management and how it can be applied most effectively to each farm’s unique situation.
We build trust: We provide assurance that growers are farming more sustainably through our independently audited LEAF Marque certification; from the health of their soils to how they engage with local communities.
We educate: Our team of qualified educational specialists work with schools, citizens and farmers across the UK to bring sustainable farming to life, both in schools and on-farm. LEAF promotes more regenerative farming through Integrated Farm Management (IFM). It is a whole farm business approach that uses the best of modern technology and traditional methods.
© LEAF The agri-food industry is in a significant period of change. The move to more nature friendly practices is accelerating and regenerative farming is now becoming the new normal.
Now more than ever, there is greater need to support farmers with the many challenges they are facing into – both in the UK and globally.Â
We also need greater clarity around the priorities and inevitable trade-offs they are going to have to make in order to accelerate the transition to more sustainable practices.
Building on these themes, the LEAF Conference 2025 ‘Profit, Risk & Transformation’, sponsored by Strutt & Parker, Oxbury Bank & Frontier Agriculture, will bring together top industry thought leaders, academics, and farmers to share their views on three key themes:
1. Climate change adaption
Very significant global climatic changes are imminent within the next decade. Delve into the global perspectives on risk, mitigation, and investment prioritisation within commercial farming systems.Â
2. Technology transformation
Gain insights into how farmers can select the right deliverables from technology to optimise both environmental and commercial impact. What are the specific technologies that are going to have the biggest impact in the short possible amount of time?
3. Creating the enabling conditions for change
Explore the role of the financial services sector in accelerating more regenerative global farming and food systems at pace and scale. How do we ensure all actors work together?
