LEAF’s President’s Event 2012
What will sustainable food systems look like in the future? What lessons can we learn from the past? These are some of the issues we will be exploring at LEAF’s President’s Event. We have brought together some of the industry’s finest thinkers, academics, technologists and farmers to debate how we can work together to develop new and sustainable ways of feeding a growing world population. Download the programme here and contact Evelyn.See@leafuk.org to book your place by 31st October 2012. Booking is essential for security and catering reasons.

A Showcase for Sustainable Farming
Long standing LEAF members, Overbury Farms, have become the latest farm to be launched as a LEAF Demonstration Farm. Many of you will be forgiven to think that Overbury Farms are already a LEAF Demonstration Farm! They have taken a very active involvement in all our activities since they joined us in 2003 – they were one of the first farms to sign up for our very first Open Farm Sunday back in 2006 and have achieved LEAF Marque certification on all their lamb.

Sharing Successes
Plans are well underway for next year’s Open Farm Sunday on the 9th June. We would like to see more LEAF members and LEAF Marque growers get involved. We know you are already producing great food with environmental care and we’d like you to tell others about what you do and why you do it! You don’t have to put on a big event – a simple farm walk for family and neighbours is just fine! You can register to open up at www.farmsunday.org from the 1st December, in the meantime, take a look at our latest Sharing Successes brochure setting out this year’s highlights.
