Rootstock: Devon’s Future Farming Conference

A conference for South West farmers on resilient, profitable, regenerative farming

UK agriculture continues to face multiple uncertainties: a changing climate, volatile markets, new subsidies and policies combine to make long term and even short term practical planning for profitable farming more difficult. Old certainties are being undermined and finding ways to adapt is essential, even if practical, trustworthy and reliable advice is hard to find.  ‘New’ ideas, many founded in traditional knowledge, include regenerative approaches based around a better understanding of soils, and developing closer relationships with customers.

Rootstock is a one day conference for farmers in the South West to discuss forward-looking, profitable, sustainable farming in tune with natural processes. Sessions will be based around contextualised science, with speakers being a mixture of expert scientists and practical farmers. The conference will inform, explore and question current farming trends and the latest technical developments.
