Welcome to Driving Sustainable Livestock Farming: From Research to Reality. Join us at Chatton Village Hall on October 9, 2025 at 9:30 AM to look at at practical solutions for enhancing nitrogen use efficiency, improving livestock health, and building more resilient, sustainable farming systems.

Hosted by the Renner family, at one of LEAF’s longest-standing Demonstration Farms, this event will explore insights from the pioneering Nitrogen Utilisation Efficiency Legumes (NUE-Leg) Project and how it aligns with both LEAF’s Integrated Farm Management (IFM) and the Renner’s data driven approach to continuous improvement.

Rooted in generations of farming experience, Renner Farming blends productive, practical farming with a strong commitment to environmental care - offering a powerful example of sustainable livestock production in action.

Through expert talks, interactive discussions and a guided farm walk, the day will provide hands-on insights into:

  • Optimising nitrogen use efficiency in livestock systems
  • Strategies for sustainable and profitable land management
  • Enhancing soil health
  • Improving livestock health and productivity
  • Exploring agri-tech innovations

Whether you're a farmer, advisor, researcher, policymaker or agri-business professional, this is a valuable opportunity to share knowledge, build connections and gain practical ideas to take away.



Hear from leading experts including:

Dr Christina Marley, Aberystwyth University Lead researchers on the NUE-Leg Project, presenting the science behind the project and the trial plots you’ll see on the day

George Robson, Hutchinsons Delving into resilient soil management and the use of integrated data tools to support decision-making

Dr Joe Henry, Black Sheep Farm Health Exploring how genetics, proactive health planning, and disease control can drive sustainable livestock performance

Alex Macdonald-Smith, Drone Ag Covering how drones can be used in agricultural systems for smarter, more sustainable farming

Don't miss this opportunity to connect with experts in the field and be part of the conversation. See you there!
