Driving deep into Beautiful Data. Moving potential to practice. #LEAFConf26

Data only creates impact when it works for farmers.
Skills, culture, collaboration & interoperable tools are the catalysts for real change in global agriculture.

[LEAF @LEAF_Farming]

Our keynote – John Shropshire, G’s Fresh

Building a Resilient Future Starts from the Ground Up

- Investing in our soils
- Smarter water management
- Using data to drive decisions

Regen agriculture is essential for climate resilience, food security & economic stability.

[LEAF @LEAF_Farming]

Our afternoon keynote: Dr Elliott Grant on AI & Sustainability: Catalysing Change at Scale with Data.

AI + data = a new era of sustainable agriculture.
Less chemistry
Smarter practices
Faster adoption
Stronger crops

And we can already see these things happening! #LEAFConf26

[LEAF @LEAF_Farming]

Great discussion on why public engagement in farming matters. #LEAFConf26

As we look ahead to 20 years of @OpenFarmSunday, the panel highlighted the need to rebuild trust in our food system, connect diets to sustainable farming & empower the public to make informed choices.

[LEAF @LEAF_Farming]

A strong session on the realities of regenerative agriculture.

Highlighting how regen practices are delivering real operational + environmental gains, mindset shifts needed for change & the importance of supporting farmers to adopt IFM aligned approaches with confidence.

[LEAF @LEAF_Farming]

And we’re off!

LEAF's David Webster opens the day by reflecting on the vision of LEAF’s founder, Caroline Drummond. Her belief that “change happens from the bottom up & we must celebrate farm sustainability in all its forms.”

That core principle lives on in all of LEAF’s work.
