Joe Evans - Low Carbon Agriculture Show

Joe Evans

Vice President, CLA

Joe grew up on his family farm in Herefordshire and spent much of the first decade of his career working for HSBC Group in Asia.

In 2012 he and his wife Keeley returned 'home' where he took over the day to day running of Whitbourne estate from his father. The estate has three farming tenants, a few residential properties, high-quality woodland, a care farm charity and an events venue that he opened just before the pandemic struck.

Working together with one of his farming tenants, Joe runs the home farm as an extensive organic grazing enterprise with significant focus on environmental stewardship schemes.

He has been involved with the CLA as chair of the Herefordshire branch and chair of the Environment Committee.

The Debate - Reaching Net Zero in Agriculture

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.

Tom Bradshaw
Deputy President for the National Farmers Union (NFU)
The CLA is pleased once again to be supporting the Low Carbon Agriculture Show. This event gathers the most dynamic rural businesses from across the sector, where landowners and industry experts work to tackle the greatest societal challenge, we are facing globally. The CLA and our members are working hard to deliver a sustainable, low carbon and diverse rural economy for the future, as we continue on the road to be world leaders in reaching Net Zero.

Sarah Hendry
Director General for the Country Land and Business Association (CLA)
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.
