Thousands of farmers and activists across six continents will come together at the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC Global) on Jan. 7 to show that small-scale farming can fix the climate and ecological crisis.
ORFC Global delegates, including representatives of indigenous communities from the Amazon to Alaska, are pushing for food, farming and nature to be at the top of the COP26 agenda this November.
Farmers around the world who practice climate-friendly methods, including regenerative and organic farming, will share their success stories over the course of the seven-day global conference.
Colin Tudge, Oxford Real Farming Conference co-founder, said: “Agriculture in its present form is both a cause and a victim of all that is wrong with the world – from social injustice and political unrest to mass extinction and climate change. It is treated as “a business like any other” and required above all to compete for profit in the global market.
Thousands of farmers and activists from across the globe are calling for agriculture to be recognised on the world stage as a solution to the climate crisis FOOD, FARMING and nature must be restored to the centre of the world stage in the fight against climate change. That is the message from farmers and activists from around the globe, who are pushing for agriculture to be at the top of the agenda at the COP26 climate conference this November in Glasgow. And it will be the message echoed as thousands of delegates from 75 countries virtually gather for the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC Global) this Thursday, January 7, to discuss how farming can offer a solution to the climate crisis.
