What farming delivers

January’s Oxford Farming Conference will be looking at what UK farming delivers to wider society.

For the last 21 years, LEAF has been pioneering innovative ways to connect people with their food and the farmers who produce it, through our network of Demonstration Farms, Open Farm Sunday and, more recently, the Let Nature Feed Your Senses project. We have achieved much but there is still an urgent need for more farmers to open their gates and show the public the full range of environmental and social values that farming delivers.

Come and see us at the Oxford Farming Conference and from all the LEAF team, we wish you a happy Christmas and prosperous New Year!
