Meet the Team

In January 2010 a small group with an interest in agriculture launched an alternative event to explore the issues they believed mattered most to people - health, animal welfare, biodiversity, food security. So began the first annual Oxford Real Farming Conference, founded on a manifesto that set out a simple aim: to provide good food, for everyone, forever.
