OFC Programme Teaser
WEDNESDAY 8TH JANUARY 2025
OFC25 will start from lunchtime on Wednesday, for those who wish to make the most of their ticket and experience in Oxford. A new session “Inspiring Innovators” will draw together ideas to support the future of agriculture. Papers will be called for late-summer 2024 to select a programme of inspiring speakers.
The OFC and Fieldwork Book Club and a Farmers Weekly Question Time will also take place on Wednesday, hosted prior to the Chairman’s Welcome Reception.
THURSDAY 9TH JANUARY 2025 (MORNING): Policy: enabling opportunity
Agricultural policy is in transition, in a world requiring increased food production, with demanding environmental priorities. This creates challenges for governments and farmers, yet also opportunities. This session will cover the major farming political update at domestic and international levels and showcase how farming businesses are responding to these changing drivers.
THURSDAY 9TH JANUARY 2025 (AFTERNOON): Adapting to a changing world
Seasonal extremes and climate change are testing our established farming systems. Yet technological advances and innovations are creating incredible new opportunities. This session will explore our changing natural world, how that impacts on land used for farming and how today’s science can help feed tomorrow’s world.
FRIDAY 10TH JANUARY 2025: Inspiration from change
Change and adversity can often provide the catalyst for inspirational and influential leadership to flourish. Farming produces fantastic food for increasingly health-conscious consumers. This session will showcase inspiring farmers and food businesses, and people who have seized new opportunities born out of adversity, opportunity, ambition or a simple passion for food.
OFC25 will finish at 3pm.
