The NFU is a proud partner of the show which is rapidly becoming a central event for low carbon farming. At a time when food and energy security are rightly high on everyone’s minds, the show provides targeted support for producing climate-friendly food, energy and fibre. There is a wealth of practical advice from experts on energy, environment, agri-tech and low emissions vehicles. It is an ideal opportunity for farmers to come together to explore opportunities and build resilient businesses.

I’m really impressed by the diversity of the audiences at LCA. There's a good mix of stalls and some are talking about really cool AgriTech, renewables, and massive power charges for vehicles.
