About this event

Join us for Scotland’s first nature-friendly farming summit, hosted by NFFN Scotland, bringing together farmers, land managers, researchers, policymakers and environmental leaders to shape a resilient future for food, nature and rural communities.

Taking place in Edinburgh, this landmark event will explore how Scotland can transition to a sustainable food and farming system that supports biodiversity, combats climate change, and secures long-term food production.

Through inspiring talks, panel discussions and real-life case studies, attendees will hear from pioneering farmers already putting nature at the heart of their practices, and take part in crucial conversations about reforming funding, scaling up nature-friendly methods, and ensuring profitability alongside environmental delivery.

This is a unique opportunity to drive forward a just, nature-positive transition for Scottish agriculture – and to be part of the movement shaping farming’s role in a climate-resilient Scotland.

Lunch will be provided.

This event is made possible thanks to the support of RSPB Scotland and NatureScot.
