In partnership with the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, Norfolk County Council, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and the Co-op, join us for the return of the Norfolk Landscapes Conference & Exhibition for 2025, an annual event exploring land use change, and how we can make nature and farming work together.

Land and coastal management in Britain is becoming ever more challenging and complex. Climate change is altering traditional weather patterns, creating unpredictable growing seasons, and increasing the likelihood of floods and droughts. BPS is being phased out and farmers must navigate a transition to make their businesses sustainable, utilising various public and private funding streams. With an increase in environmental scheme payment rates, farmers and land owners must weigh up food vs the environment. How does one make sense of this everchanging sector, ensure business resilience, and work together to ensure Norfolk’s land and coastal management thrives?

Held on the Royal Norfolk Showground on Wednesday 29th October, this event is a must-attend for land owners, farmers, nature enthusiasts, policy makers, the construction sector, planning departments, green finance organisations, and anyone interested in how we can improve land use in Norfolk, and across England.

The event will bring together farmers, researchers, policy makers, investors and industry leaders to name but a few, to discuss the importance of Norfolk’s natural capital and the future direction of land and coastal management. Experience a sprawling and diverse exhibition, engaging seminars, and thought-provoking talks. Discount tickets available for NFWAG and/or RNAA members.
