Nuffield Farming Conference Comes to Scotland

Set against the backdrop of one of the UK’s most vibrant agricultural regions, the event promises three days of lively conversation, fresh ideas, and shared ambition for the future of farming. Whether you're a scholar, sponsor, alum, or just passionate about the future of food and farming, this is your invitation to connect, learn, and be inspired. You can also join in with one of three pre-conference farm tours, showcasing innovation, diversification, and sustainable land management in the North East.
