Northern Farming Hub: cover crops
The Northern Farming Hub is a new collaboration between Catchment Sensitive Farming, The University of Leeds and Niab to bring the very best speakers to north-east England. The project will evolve over time, covering a wide range of topics that will be guided by attendees. The event format is informal, with discussions are encouraged and different opinions welcome.
Two further events will be run during Spring 2025 – 12th March and 30th April. Details of these events will be published shortly.
