NFU Energy is delighted to hear that Agriconnect, the UK’s largest agricultural information business, has enhanced its portfolio with the acquisition of Low Carbon Agriculture (LCA), founded by Energy Now.
Agriconnect, renowned for publishing Farmers Guardian and other leading titles, has a strong presence in the agricultural sector. Their expertise extends to organising industry-leading events such as LAMMA, Croptec, Future Farming Expo, and Farm Business Innovation. By incorporating LCA's conference-led events, namely Energy Now Expo, Environmental Business Expo, Farm Technology Expo, and Low Emissions Vehicle Expo, into its business, Agriconnect evidences its commitment to promoting sustainable practices and embracing low carbon technologies.
For the past 13 years, the National Farmers' Union (NFU) and NFU Energy have played a prominent role in the annual LCA event. We’re excited to continue our partnership with Energy Now and work more closely with Agriconnect to ensure farmers have access to a wealth of knowledge and resources to help them navigate the complex landscape of energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, and technological advancements in farming.
David Jacobmeyer, Founder of Low Carbon Agriculture said: “Since launching Energy Now Expo in 2010, later rebranded to Low Carbon Agriculture Show, we’ve seen tremendous growth and interest in both clean energy and low carbon sectors.
“The farming community has a critical role to play in reaching Net Zero, and there is an ever-growing need for farmers and landowners to come together to find ways to boost production sustainably, while helping to address climate change.
“I am looking forward to both the growth of Low Carbon Agriculture and working closely with Agriconnect to help guide farmers through this huge period of change.”
Nick Ornstien, Managing Director of Agriconnect, added: “Agriconnect prides itself on being not just ‘for’ the farming community but ‘of’ the community. Within our own teams, as well as throughout our diverse customer community, we’ve seen increasing interest in information about sustainable practices and plans in farming.
“That’s why I am so delighted to have LCA become a part of Agriconnect and I am truly looking forward to partnering with David to continue our focus on this important sector in farming.”
