We are back from the NFU Conference, big thank you to the NFU team for all their hard work organising a great couple of days. Here is a quick update from the event:

In her opening address at NFU Conference Minette delivered a stark message to government:
"Time is almost up for this government to start walking the talk".
Outlining the significant challenges farmers have faced during the previous year, Minette reiterated the NFU's call for the Prime Minister to honour the commitment he made during his leadership bid to deliver a new food security target.

On the second day of conference, NFU Deputy President Tom Bradshaw launched the NFU's sector resilience plans.
Each sector has defined its priorities, highlighting the member benefits and associated challenges, alongside the support needed from government, industry and R&D for increased uptake of climate-friendly farming practices.
Find out how your sector envisions the future of farming.
In the final session of NFU Conference, NFU Vice President David Exwood spoke to five members who described where they are on their journey towards climate friendly farming.
They each described their farming challenges and practices and it became clear that a one-size fits all approach does not work.
