The Low Carbon Agriculture Show 2025, taking place on 5-6 March at NAEC Stoneleigh, is the perfect place to do just that. Bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and forward-thinking farmers, this event is a key opportunity to discuss the pressing issues facing agriculture and explore new ways to secure long-term farm profitability.

NFU Conference 2025 

Just this week, at the NFU Conference 2025, Defra Secretary Steve Reed doubled down on Labour’s stance on IHT, insisting that the real issue facing farming is not tax, but profitability. He argued that farmers should focus on investment, productivity, and making the sector more attractive to the next generation, rather than resisting tax changes. 

However, many in the industry strongly disagree. The reality is that these tax changes could force farming families to sell their land, particularly those on short-term tenancies, putting the very future of Britain’s family farms at risk. The Tenant Farmers Association has warned that landowners may be forced to sell their farms to cover IHT bills, leaving tenant farmers vulnerable to eviction. 

With no sign of a policy reversal, farmers must look for new ways to strengthen their businesses, improve resilience, and explore diversification opportunities. That’s where events like the Low Carbon Agriculture Show 2025 become crucial. 

One of the key voices at the event will be David Barton, Livestock Board Chair at the NFU, who will be speaking on the Land Use Framework panel. With the recently launched Land Use Framework increasing demands on farmland, from food production and biodiversity to renewable energy and carbon reduction, the future of land use is a hot topic. This panel will explore how farmers can take control of their land’s potential while ensuring financial sustainability. 

For attendees, this is a unique opportunity to hear directly from industry leaders and ask the tough questions about the future of British farming.

Exploring the Opportunities on Your Land 

With the political landscape shifting, farmers must explore every possible avenue to secure profitability. One of the biggest untapped opportunities lies in renewable energy. Solar and wind power are not just sustainable solutions, they are viable revenue streams that can strengthen farm businesses and contribute to the UK’s energy security. 

At the Low Carbon Agriculture Show 2025, you’ll have the chance to: 

• Discover the latest opportunities in solar and wind energy – how they can work for your farm 

• Provide a consistent revenue stream through grid connections or power purchase agreements  

• Learn from case studies of farms successfully integrating renewables 

Win a Free Site Screening Assessment! 

As part of the Low Carbon Agriculture Show 2025, attendees will have the chance to win a desk-based site screening assessment for a landholding of their choice. This assessment will evaluate your farm’s energy development and grid connection potential, providing valuable insights into whether renewables could be a smart diversification move for your business.
