Chaff Chat LIVE: Climate resilience and adaptation on farm

What does a changing climate mean for UK arable farming, and what can you do about it?

Farming has always involved managing weather risk; as climate patterns and variability change, understanding what lies ahead and building resilience to uncertainty is becoming increasingly important.

Join AHDB Cereals and Oilseeds for a special Chaff Chat LIVE webinar bringing together experts from the Met Office and AHDB to explore what the changing climate means for UK arable farming, what we can learn from the season just gone, and how farmers can prepare for what is ahead.

We will look at the short- and long-term climate outlook, the latest harvest picture, the direction of climate policy and practical approaches to building resilience on farm.

What we'll cover

• Climate update – Thomas Crocker, Met Office
• Harvest update – Helen Plant, AHDB Economics and Analysis
• Climate policy – Saskia van Dongen, AHDB Environment Team
• Building resilience on farm – Rachael Madeley-Davies, AHDB Environment Team
• Practical insight for the seasons ahead – From understanding the climate outlook to considering practical changes on farm

This webinar will bring together the latest evidence and expertise to help farmers think about adaptation, resilience and the decisions they can make today to prepare for tomorrow.

Join us online for the Climate Resilience and Adaptation on Farm webinar on 3 November, from 3:30–4:30pm.
