The first Carbon Calling conference will be in Cumbria on Tuesday the 18th August 2020, 10 am to 4.30 pm.
** Coronavirus update - we are still planning for Carbon Calling to go ahead in August as the situation would have hopefully settled down by then. If we have to postpone the event, any tickets will be refunded in full **
It is a great line-up with Joel Salatin (polyfacefarms.com or www.thelunaticfarmer.com) as the headliner and he will be talking about how livestock has improved the productivity of his farm. We have seven different farmers - Lowther Estate's David Bliss, Thomas Stobart, Paul Renison, Angus Nelless, Alan Cowan, Charley Walker and Jim Logan - talking about their grazing systems and how they made changes to their systems. There is a "what could future farms look like" session with Nuffield Scholar Geraint Powell, Small Robot Company's founder Sam Watson Jones and Jake Fiennes from Holkham Estate. Heather Wildman will be closing the conference with guidance on how to put it all into practice.
The conference costs £40 (+VAT).
