The Jersey Farming Conference 2024 – registration now open
There is no denying that it’s still an extremely challenging time for farmers. Farming is not an easy task, increases in the minimum wage means that rising labour costs are adding a significant burden with many farmers having to think hard about their future in the industry. Climate change bringing droughts and flooding, inflation and new obligations are having a growing impact on farmers' work and incomes. Food security, in harmony with nature, remains an essential task – producing healthy food is the foundation of agricultural policy. Many farmers are already working towards a more sustainable form of agriculture. That is the only way to secure the supply of food for the future. This year’s conference is the time to bring together the farming industry and government to work together to tackle these challenges.
