Welcome & Opening Plenary: Shaping our local food & farming future - national & regional perspectives

A look at the key issues shaping our food and farming future from national to local level. Andrea Gibbons - Sustainable Food Places Network Coordinator and Steven Jacobs from Organic Farmer's & Growers will provide a national perspective. We will then have regional snapshots from each of the Marches counties - from the Wyescape Landscape Recovery project to Monmouthshire regenerative farming mentoring scheme and highlighting key initiatives from Shropshire and Powys Food Partnerships.

We are sharing what we are most excited about at the moment and giving you a flavour of the breadth of sessions on offer during the Convergence.
