How Farm Businesses Respond to Change & Turn Intentions Into Action

Join us at Lodge Farm, Essex to explore resilient farming, Integrated Farm Management and celebrate its launch as a LEAF Demonstration Farm
About this Event

Explore how farm businesses can balance productivity, environmental responsibility and commercial resilience in practice, and how Integrated Farm Management (IFM) can support decision-making, innovation and positive change.
Run by Archie and Bryony Graham, in partnership with their father, the family farm has been involved in a number of initiatives, including the Pulse Pioneers NCS Project, exploring the financial and environmental impacts of increasing pulses within the rotation, as well as Resilient & Ready - a 3-year programme of training, technical support and mentoring jointly run by Corteva Agriscience and LEAF.
Join us for a day of practical insight, discussion and shared learning, including:

• A farm tour exploring the farm’s cropping, conservation and trial areas.
• Insights into how smaller farms can build confidence, influence and a stronger voice within the wider industry.
• Exploring how confidence, ownership and accountability can become catalysts for change and support the adoption of more sustainable farming practices, including Integrated Farm Management (IFM).
• Opportunities to connect with other farmers, researchers and industry partners

This event marks an exciting addition to the LEAF Network, bringing together farmers, researchers, advisers and supply chain partners to explore Integrated Farm Management (IFM) in practice on an arable farm with a strong focus on testing new ideas in real-world farming conditions.
