In what is being described as “one of the most inspiring to date”, the popular event organised by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) included a packed lineup of thought-provoking discussions, networking and shared learning under the theme ‘Voices, Views and Virtual Tools’.

Among the conference speakers was television commentator and equestrian figure Alice Plunkett, who delivered a powerful message about the importance of protecting dairy farming’s public image in an era of intense scrutiny.
