About this Event
Future Farmers of Yorkshire is excited to welcome a panel of engaging speakers for its Autumn Debate to discuss how healthy soils plus healthy livestock can be made to equal healthy consumers and profitable farm businesses.
Farm businesses, consumers and the planet all need a more progressive food system: a system that results in a healthier population with less burden on an under-pressure NHS; that enables productive and profitable farming, delivering nutrient dense food that consumers want, and can afford to buy.
What are the opportunities as farm realities, government policy and retailer attitudes become increasingly driven by climate change dynamics?
Admission to this event is free to all and includes supper before the debate commences. Farmer Copleys Farm Shop and Copley’s Kitchen will be open for self-guided tours from 6pm. Registration and the bar opens from 6.30pm, before a buffet supper is served at 7pm and the debate starts at 7.30pm.
Our panel features:
- Professor Pippa Chapman, from the University of Leeds and part of the Leadership Team of the FixourFood Project
- Sir Mark Spencer, former Farming Minister and Nottinghamshire based farmer
- Dr Hannah Fraser, Nuffield Scholar, medical doctor and organic farmer
- James Robinson, an organic dairy farmer from South Cumbria and England Chair for Nature Friendly Farming Network
We are very grateful to Rob and Heather Copley for generously hosting this event.
