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.

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.
