Richard has been involved with farming and conservation consultancy for 25 years, working across the UK and Europe on large scale projects prior to moving into Higher Education at Reaseheath College to deliver sustainable farming topics. He has worked at the National Trust for 7 years, in both a regional and national role supporting tenant farmers to transition to sustainable land use models. Outside of work he runs a 160ha farm in the Peak District that is focused on Nature friendly farming in order to deliver habitat, biodiversity and low carbon livestock and produce. His current project is developing sustainable land management and farm decarbonisation programs

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

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.
