A SECTOR DIVIDED

Is regenerative farming the way forward?

The farm today is a specialist arable unit that undertakes contract farming for a number of local farmers, cropping a total of 1,400 hectares. In 2016 the business started a broiler unit, heavily based on renewable energy.

President of the NFU for eight years, Peter's overriding passion has been to change the image of farming from an old-fashioned industry to one that is innovative, exciting and central to facing the global challenges depicted in the UK Government’s Foresight Report on the Future of Food and Farming. Peter was appointed Chair of the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board between 2014 and 2020.

The Kent County Agricultural Society is delighted to be bringing together three big names from across the farming industry for what promises to be a lively, in-depth discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of incorporating regenerative farming techniques into on-farm practice.

Taking place at the Kent Showground on the evening of Wednesday 22 January 2025, the event is free to attend and includes networking and complimentary drinks and light refreshments after the seminar.

The Kent Farming Conference 2025, a not-for-profit event, is kindly sponsored by South East Farmer, Crawfords Group, Brachers LLP, Forestry England, Azets, Wilson Wraight and the NFU Mutual Kent agencies.
