Farmers Weekly New Era Theatre

Farmers Weekly logo for seminar page

Welcome to the  Farmers Weekly New Era Theatre where over the two days, seminars will cover emerging industry-wide initiatives to support farmers transitioning their businesses towards a more sustainable future.  Farmers are expected to do much more than produce food: improving biodiversity, soil health, air and water quality, and storing carbon to help mitigate the impact of climate change. All this means we must refocus our farms to ensure they thrive as businesses while looking after and enhancing the environment.  Farmers Weekly Transition, brings together organisations from across the supply chain to help farmers adjust and facilitate discussions on how best to work together to achieve this goal.
