About this Event
Managing your Business to Produce food in a Sustainable Manner can be challenging in an increasingly volatile and changing domestic and political landscape. A new Government and a new Senedd in Cardiff Bay brings a new political landscape within which you must manage your business. In Westminster a new Prime Minister brings a new dynamic to the UK economy and conflict in Europe and the Middle East has brought volatility and uncertainty to input prices. In this NatWest / NFU Cymru we bring you expert analysis on the current domestic and global policy, political and economic landscape. We will talk of the help available to support you to grow your business in these challenging time and we gain inspiration from the world of sport as how to get the best out of the most important element of your business – you.
This event will qualify as one hour of Continuous Professional Development (CPD) under the Sustainable Farming Scheme.
