In this episode, we look at the prospects for farming in 2025 – and discuss the opportunities for growers and livestock producers.
We examine the outlook for profitable UK food production, ways to generate income from the farmed environment and the likely direction for government policy.
First, though, we preview the Oxford Farming Conference (8-10 January) – which has a reputation for setting the political agenda for the farming year.
This year's conference will see a keynote speech by Defra secretary Steve Reed following a series of controversial policy announcements.
Does the (still) fledgling Labour government really understand farming? And, if so, why has it imposed inheritance tax on farm assets worth more than £1 million?
Contributors include:
Listeners in England can obtain free farm support advice until March 2025 under Defra's Farm Resilience Fund – subject to eligibility criteria.
This episode is hosted by Johann Tasker.
