Farming conference looks to science and innovation
Getty ImagesAn annual conference for farmers and agricultural leaders is due to begin later.
The 2025 Oxford Farming Conference aims to explore how "current and future farming policies provide new opportunities" for farmers.
More than 30 speakers will take part, including explorer Olly Hicks, environmental strategist and author Gaia Vince, and the Consul General of India in Birmingham Dr Venkatachalam Murugan.
It is taking place for three days, ending on Friday afternoon.
The annual conference aims to raise issues affecting farmers, put on debates, and provide networking opportunities.
Organisers say the latest event will focus on how farmers can adapt with the help of science and new practices, and "how change and adversity can produce inspiring innovators and leaders who can transform people, farming and food production".
New entrepreneurs from across the UK will give presentations, including Beta Bugs Limited - which uses fly larvae for animal feed, Sustainable Rope and Udderly Flavoured Milk.
Tickets for the event, which takes place at Oxford University, are sold out but digital passes are available.
The first farming conference took place in Oxford in 1936.
