TIMAC AGRO at the Oxford Farming Conference
Our Technical Specialist from Pembrokeshire, Hannah Rees, is one of just two individuals from the UK to be awarded a coveted scholarship to the Oxford Farming Conference through the NFYFC (national federation of young farmers).
The conference takes place early in January, with the theme “Facing Change, Finding Opportunity”. Speakers will explore adaptation opportunities for farmers, to meet the needs of our changing industry and environment.
Current and future farming policies will be discussed, as well as new practices and innovations within the sector.
This exciting scholars programme enables young people to participate in the conference that otherwise may not have had the opportunity to do so, providing a valuable stepping stone to fulfil a career within farming or agribusinesses.
The itinerary began with a trip to London last week for Hannah, to the McDonalds Head Quarters, where the hosts explained their commitment to agriculture and sustainability including the journey of their ingredients from “farm to bap”.
Next up is the Oxford Farming Conference (OFC25) which takes place from 8th to 10th January 2025, in Oxford and Online. A programme teaser and tickets are now available by visiting the dedicated conference section.
Hannah is looking forward to this two-day meeting which will give a valuable opportunity for networking, career development, idea sharing and key skills training.
