Jersey Farming Conference - Farming Matters
at La Mare Wine Estate (and on-line) on Thursday 7th November 2024
There is no denying that it’s still an extremely challenging time for farmers. Farming is not an easy task, increases in the minimum wage means that rising labour costs are adding a significant burden with many farmers having to think hard about their future in the industry. Climate change bringing droughts and flooding, inflation and new obligations are having a growing impact on farmers' work and incomes.
Food security, in harmony with nature, remains an essential task – producing healthy food is the foundation of agricultural policy. Many farmers are already working towards a more sustainable form of agriculture. That is the only way to secure the supply of food for the future. This year’s conference is the time to bring together the farming industry and government to work together to tackle these challenges.
The conference is open to all businesses and individuals who have an interest in the rural economy and we look forward to welcoming as many of you as possible.
The Jersey Farming Conference is being organised by Farm Jersey with funding from the Government of Jersey. The conference is being sponsored by Jersey Water with the mid-morning session being sponsored by local accountancy, investment management and tax specialists, Evelyn Partners and the locally sourced lunch being sponsored by Normans Agriculture.
