About this event

Science & Tech • Science

Managing water and soil carbon is fast becoming a priority across lowland UK and is crucial for climate action, farm resilience, biodiversity, and productivity.

This cross-sector forum at the University of East Anglia brings together experts in farming, conservation, water, and policy to explore practical, joined-up approaches across peat and mineral soils in floodplains.

Expect tools, funding insights, and real-world case studies to support action at both farm and catchment scale.

Organised by the Broads Authority, Norfolk FWAG, Norfolk Environment Food and Farming and Cranfield University.
