Countryside COP4: 04 – 08 November 2024
Countryside COP is back this 04 – 08 November, bringing together the rural community and businesses to showcase and inspire activity ahead of COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, from 11 – 22 November 2024.
Now in its fourth year, Countryside COP provides a platform for anyone interested in the countryside to hear how the UK’s rural economy and agriculture can help tackle climate change and improve sustainability. Spokespeople from farming, local authority, education, research, finance and more will set out the challenges and vision for farming and the countryside.
Agricology are delighted to be hosting general information and the programme for 2024. Read on to find out more…
