Online event
Part of our Farming for Change: Routes to Action series helping build the evidence, ideas and community for a UK transition to agroecology
About this event
There is growing interest in agroecology and how we transition to a food and farming system which works in harmony with nature, adapts to climate changes, builds a thriving farming sector and sustainably provides citizens with healthy and nutritious food.
FFCC’s latest report Farming for Change introduces new research from IDDRI which includes comprehensive and systematic technical modelling for a transition to agroecology across UK nations. We are now exploring how to translate this detailed and rigorous piece of research into practical projects which support the transition to agroecology by 2030.
Routes to Action is a series of five workshops featuring a fascinating array of contributors (from farming, science, economics, ecology, food businesses and more) who will address the challenges and opportunities of transitioning towards an agroecological food system and share ideas on how to implement more agroecological farming practices - from farm to landscape to nation.
The third in the series, Changing Economics, will focus on our approach to economics and agriculture in the UK.
Panel speakers: Professor Allan Buckwell (Economist), George Young (Farmer), Vicki Hird (Sustain), Dr Courtney Scott (FFCC), Chris Clark (NFFN), Johnnie Balfour (Farmer)
