08/01/22 - Farming Today This Week: The Oxford Farming Conferences
From a radical overhaul of the food system to the way farmers will be paid to restore nature - Charlotte Smith brings you the highlights of the two Oxford farming conferences
At this time of year the streets of Oxford are normally thronged with farmers, in town for two big events: the Oxford Farming Conference and the Oxford Real Farming Conference. This year, both conferences were held online, with hundreds of virtual sessions covering everything from family farms to agroforestry, soils and supply chains.
Charlotte Smith brings you the highlights from both conferences.
