Application of Science to Realise the Potential of the Agricultural Transition

Food and Farming Futures organised an online webinar on the 24th February 2022, supported by Harper Adams University’s School of Sustainable Food and Farming.

The webinar explored how the application of science could be best delivered to ensure a just agricultural transition in the United Kingdom (UK). This is in response to the Agricultural Act 2020, climate change and the reality of a war in Europe. The webinar included leading authorities from academia, industry and policy (see Appendix for a full list of attendees).

A key outcome of the webinar was the formation of a working group, selected to represent the sector (see Appendix for full membership). The working group is tasked to develop a report to make recommendations to UK policy makers and agricultural leaders on the application of science to realise the potential of the agricultural transition.
