Description

Join us at The Food Partnership Clubhouse for our annual Land Use Plus Food and Farming Conference 2025. This year's theme is "Educating and empowering your community for sustainable food futures". This builds upon previous themes of barriers and opportunities for nature recovery & local food systems, and visioning a sustainable food future for the Downs.

This cross-sector conference is a chance to meet change makers, learn from local and national experts and enjoy the very best of Sussex food and drink.

Food systems are rarely appreciated for their vast reach, spanning everything from public health to culture and environment. We aim to join the dots between different areas of work, highlight needs and drivers, and discover the role YOU have to play in educating and empowering your community, wherever you sit in the system.
