Farmers across the globe are having to respond to increasingly extreme weather events. Rising average temperatures, along with changing precipitation patterns, are substantially impacting the production of crops and livestock. Farming is on the front line of climate change.
LEAF’s Annual Conference, hosted by BBC broadcaster and journalist, Tom Heap, will bring together an expert panel of speakers to:
Examine the pathways to promote sustainable farm management practices globally and the importance of Integrated Farm Management in that context.
Explore the role of data as both a guide to intervention and tool for reporting.
Identify the incentives, motivations, interactions and roles of public, private and civil society actors in facilitating the transition at pace and scale.
Consider the role of financial markets as catalysts to incentivise more sustainable farm management practices.
Explore the role that livestock can play within a sustainable farming system.
