With a general election two weeks after the Lincolnshire Show, now is a good time to ask the UK’s farmers what they need and what they want from the next government. We’ll be discussing the impacts of geopolitical events, economic turbulence and climate change on farm businesses and what can be done to support the food system and ensure a food secure future.

Join this interactive debate with audience involvement to discuss how government, and industry, academia and government together, can create a more supportive environment for farm businesses. This session is hosted in partnership with speakers from the NFU, Lincoln Institute of Agri-Food Technology (LIAT), Savills and MHA. 

After the Show we’ll be delivering an open letter to Westminster – to the leaders and Efra spokespeople of the main parties, new Cabinet, new Defra ministers and new Efra Committee to let them know what farming needs to safeguard its future.
