The future of the countryside will not be shaped by one sector, one organisation or one political viewpoint. It will be built through collaboration.
Future Countryside 2026 brought together people from across farming, conservation, business, government and civil society to tackle the opportunities and challenges facing rural Britain. Against the backdrop of Raby Castle, delegates engaged in open debate, shared fresh ideas and forged new connections around the issues that matter most from food, farming and nature to economic growth, housing and public health.
This highlights film captures the energy of the day and the conversations that are helping to shape the future of the countryside.
We hope you enjoy watching it and we look forward to welcoming you to Future Countryside 2027.
