We’re looking forward to attending one of our key events of the year – the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC) on 9 and 10 January 2025. Our activities will include NFFN-led and partner sessions, inspiring talks by our staff and members, and a presence at our NFFN stand at the Oxford Town Hall or our online booth.

On the evening of 9 January, don’t miss our Meet & Greet at The Chequers pub! This informal gathering offers a chance to meet the team, network with fellow attendees, and discuss the future of nature-friendly farming in a relaxed setting.
