With increasing awareness of climate change, we will look at how agriculture can adapt and make better use of our natural resources to ensure that farming is both profitable and sustainable. In response to the ever increasing pace of change, should we look at developing new varieties more quickly through genetic manipulation than traditional plant breeding can deliver. We will also look at how better use of recycling can minimise the depletion of our natural resources and see how a better understanding of cropping in relation to our soils and nutrient cycle is vitally important.

The 2019 Jersey Farming Conference is organised by Farm Jersey with funding from the Government of Jersey. The conference is again being sponsored by Jersey Water with lunch again being sponsored by local insurance experts Islands.

The conference has been recognised by both NRoSO (National Register of Sprayer Operators) where attendees will receive (tbc) point(s) and by BASIS who will award (tbc) point(s) to attendees.
