Overview

Organised by Innovation for Agriculture, this is an unmissable opportunity to visit a series of farms in Cumbria and Northumberland and see new technologies, innovations and approaches in action. The two-day event will provide an opportunity to step away from day-to-day farm challenges and come together with a small group of farmers, discuss ideas and share reflections based on the visits. Generously funded by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation as part of the RASE Farm of the Future programme of events, farmers, farm managers, land workers and new entrants are able to attend on a fully funded ticket.
