The Marches Real Food & Farming Convergence
October 4 - October 5
The Marches Real Food and Farming Convergence will take place on Friday 4th and Saturday 5th October 2024 bringing together farmers, growers, experts and campaigners to look at practical ways of developing a regenerative regional food system.
The event – called a convergence rather than a conference to reflect the hands-on nature of the programme – will be held at Babbinswood Farm, near Oswestry.
The innovative food and farming event aims to bring all sectors of the farming and growing communities together to focus on how to build an inclusive and resilient food future across the Marches.
It is hosted by the Marches Real Food and Farming Network which emerged from the inaugural conference last year and includes the food partnerships of Shropshire, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire and Powys.
Topics on the agenda over the two days include how to transform the supply chain for agro-ecological farming, how to increase local fruit and vegetable production and improve access to healthy food and what action is needed at all levels of production.
The two day programme is available here and includes agroecology, soil health, regenerative farming, policy change, food equity and more.
