AHDB sponsors Nuffield Farming ‘Super Conference’ in Devon

AHDB is proud to be the main sponsor of this year’s Nuffield Farming ‘Super Conference’.

The conference, at Sandy Park in Exeter on 14–16 November, is open to all from the agricultural, horticultural, rural, and land-based industries.

Central to the event will be presentations by Nuffield Farming Scholars who have finished their international travel, studying a wide range of agricultural topics.

Mike Vacher, Director of the Nuffield Farming Scholarships Trust, said:

“We are delighted to have AHDB on board in such a landmark year. As a regular sponsor of our awards, AHDB is a natural fit for this year’s conference, and we are proud to strengthen the relationship between our organisations.

“With a record number of applicants for Nuffield Farming Scholarships this year, it is clear that there is a substantial appetite within the industry for leadership development opportunities.

“By partnering with AHDB, we are looking forward to showcasing the importance of leadership development and knowledge sharing to the industry’s future.”

Nicholas Saphir, Chair of AHDB, said:
