TheField
How will we grow it? What will we eat?
The ground truth. Soil, crops, livestock and the food that comes from them, from the farmers, growers and producers doing the work.
28 & 29 JulyThe Community Farm · Chew Valley Lake
Bring something that needs hearing.
We want the farmers doing it, the founders building it, the scientists measuring it and the chefs cooking it. Tell us what you’re up to and what you’d bring to the stage!
What we’re looking for
Three stages, six questions
Every session answers one of the six core questions. Pick the stage your idea belongs on, or tell us and we’ll find it a home.
TheBarn
What can we build? How do we make it happen?
The workshop. Ag-tech, data, robotics, finance and new ventures, with innovators, founders and funders in the same room.
TheHarvest
How do we restore? Why should people care?
The big picture. Restoring nature and the culture that makes people care, with ecologists, artists and storytellers. In the evening it becomes the music stage.
