Join us for a practical, forward-looking day exploring how farmers can build resilience to climate change. Hosted by LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) in partnership with HSBC, this event brings together farmers, advisors, researchers, and finance professionals to share tools, insights, and real-world examples of climate adaptation in action.
Hosted by Gordon and Jill Hawcroft at their family-run Lodge Farm, this 320-acre arable farm demonstrates how practical measures—from minimal cultivation to hedgerow planting and poultry integration—are helping to future-proof the business while enhancing biodiversity.
