The future of Norfolk farming is set to be hotly debated at the county’s largest agricultural conference. It stands as a pivotal event for professionals and enthusiasts engaged in farming, food production, and land management.
The Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association (RNAA) has announced a stellar speaker lineup including Groove Armada star and founder of WildFarmed Andy Cato. The full-day conference is to be held at Norfolk Showground on the 6th February and has attracted speakers from across the world.

The RNAA is a registered charity, founded in 1847 to promote the image, understanding and prosperity of agriculture and the countryside, primarily through its hosting of the Royal Norfolk Show, the county’s annual two-day agricultural show.
Mark Nicholas, managing director of RNAA, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a fascinating range of speakers to discuss and debate the challenges of farming. The conference is regarded as being at the vanguard of policy debate, and we look forward to a stimulating day.”

Sixteen regional, national and international industry-leading speakers are set to take the stage for the highly anticipated conference. Topics include the environmental costs of farming, how data can enhance sustainability for UK farms and why diet and health matter in farming.
Josiah Meldrum, founder of Hodmedod, said: “Food and farming systems need to change, not least for the benefit of our health and for the planet. What’s so exciting about the conference this year is that it reflects that change and shows how farmers can and are leading the way.”
