Nature Handbook launch
One year on from the launch of Ambition 2030, we will be launching the 'Nature Handbook' authored with the Broadway Initiative. RSK ADAS is kindly hosting us at their Boxworth site near Cambridge which has been a research facility since 1946, and was first established as the advisory and research arm of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food – the first in a nation-wide chain of experimental centres designed to guide farmers.
The Handbook’s aim is to guide food and drink manufacturers on how to start their nature journeys through to progressing along the maturity curves as part of the Nature pillar – with the overarching ambition of driving the farm to fork supply chain to nature positivity by 2030.
Event overview:
The event will be in two parts – a 2 hour morning session to include an intro to the handbook and a farm to fork panel on driving investment into farming and nature. Lunch follows, to finish with an afternoon tour of the site specialising in horticultural and environmental trials.
Attendees are welcome to leave after lunch or stay for the site tour, with the day finishing by 3.30. A full agenda and joining instructions will be shared in October for those who have registered.
We are also looking at arranging transport from Cambridge train station to the site (about 8 miles distance).
