LEAF Digs Deeper: After the Drought - Preparing Livestock Farms for a Drier Future 10am, Friday 9th October
Following the significant drought conditions experienced across the UK and Europe this summer, this LEAF Digs Deeper webinar will explore what recent dry weather can teach us about preparing livestock farms for a drier and more uncertain future. Join us to consider the impacts of drought on livestock, soils, grassland and water availability, and explore practical approaches to building resilience and adapting farm systems.
Drought can have far-reaching impacts on livestock production, affecting grass growth, forage availability, water supplies, soil health and animal welfare. As periods of dry weather become more frequent and unpredictable, building resilience into farm systems is increasingly important.
Join us to reflect on the lessons from this summer and explore practical approaches to managing drought risk, strengthening farm resilience and adapting livestock systems to changing conditions. The session will provide an opportunity to hear from experts, share experiences and consider the actions farmers can take now to better prepare for future dry periods.
