MAKING IT HAPPEN
Future Food Solutions has developed a wide range of farmer-focused practical events and activities, as well as technical papers and case studies. These demonstrate, inform, and encourage farmers to discuss and try out new innovations and sustainable cultivation techniques on their own farms.
With a view to supporting farmers on the journey of collaboration, Future Food Solutions has developed a number of innovative tools to measure, demonstrate cost, outline benefits and help progress towards a lower carbon more sustainable food and farming sector.
