About this event

Family & Education • Education

Join the National Farmers’ Union, the British Veterinary Ethnicity and Diversity Society and Culture Roots Collective as we continue our mission to create an ethnically diverse, thriving agriculture sector that represents the national population, fosters belonging and harnesses the power of diverse thought and experience.

Through CPD, open discussion and action planning, we’ll learn from lived experience, cross-sector insights and academic expertise. Delegates will leave with practical, tailored actions to better engage racially marginalised young people and build an inclusive, representative agricultural sector that fosters belonging.

The day will include a delicious lunch sponsored by Culture Roots Collective to celebrate the launch of their groundbreaking platform.
