Rootstock

Devon's Future Farming Conference

Friday 3rd February 2023

Thank you to all those involved with organising and all whom attended the inaugural Rootstock this year, which proved to be a great sucess.

Details of 2024 will follow in due course

Devon agriculture is changing faster than for generations. Climate change, world markets, subsidy, policy, and social attitudes are combining to make long term and even short-term practical planning for profitable farming harder for Devon Famers. Certainties are being undermined and it is hard to find trustworthy and reliable advice on management. At the same time new regenerative approaches are being developed, some rooted in an age old understanding of what works best for the land. Rootstock is a one day conference to support forward-looking, profitable, suitable, farming in tune with natural processes.

Sessions will be based around contextualised science, with speakers a mixture of expert scientists and practical farmers.

The conference will inform, discuss and question current farming ideas, including regenerative approaches and the latest technical developments.
