Want to see what happens in crop and soil science before it reaches working practice?
RASE has partnered with Warwick Crop Centre to build an exciting programme of talks, demonstrations, and tours of the live field trials taking place on the farm.
The day has been generously funded by The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, enabling farmers, land workers, growers, new entrants, prospective students and those interested in a regenerative food system, to attend on a fully funded ticket.
What you’ll see:
🐞 Insect monitoring and biodiversity research
🌾 Field trials testing new farming systems
🥕 The vegetable gene bank
🌱 Collaborative projects; farmers and researchers working together
🌍 Practical ideas for nature-friendly farming
What you’ll take home:
- Discover new techniques and innovations being developed in regenerative agriculture
- Learn how research is helping farmers respond to climate change and environmental pressures
- See how universities and farmers can work together to build resilient food systems
- Meet other young farmers, students and land workers interested in the future of agriculture
Is this event for me?
YES!
Agriculture is changing, and we know that not everyone feels represented at traditional farming events.
We warmly encourage attendance from:
🌾 New entrants to farming
👩🌾 Women in agriculture
🌍 People from diverse backgrounds
🎓 Students and early-career land workers
🌱 Anyone passionate about sustainable food and farming
We want this event to feel genuinely open and accessible to everyone. If anything might make it difficult for you to attend; whether that’s financial, travel, care responsibilities or accessibility-related we have a support fund in place to help you.
You can simply tick the box on the booking form and a member of our team will get in touch to explore how we can help.
