LandAlive Winter Conference

LandAlive returns in 2026 as one of the UK’s largest gatherings focused on the future of farming.

Taking place at the Royal Bath & West Showground, the event brings together farmers, land managers, food businesses, policymakers, researchers and industry leaders to tackle the real business challenges facing agriculture today.

From rising costs and volatile markets to shifting policy frameworks and climate pressures, farming is entering a period of profound change. LandAlive focuses on the practical solutions, business models and innovations that can help farms adapt and thrive.

LandAlive is built around a simple premise: the future of farming must work economically as well as environmentally.

Curated by Ark Consultancy, the programme explores how regenerative agriculture and systems thinking can operate as a commercially viable response to the pressures facing farming businesses, helping reduce risk, strengthen resilience and improve long-term profitability.

Through keynote talks, panel discussions and open debate, the event will explore topics including:

• Building resilient farm businesses in an uncertain policy environment

• Managing costs and improving profitability through regenerative systems

• Soil health, livestock integration and productive landscapes

• Supply chains, markets and the future of food production

• Technology, data and innovation in farming systems

• Finance, land management and new income opportunities

With thousands of farmers, advisors, businesses and organisations attending across the Royal Bath & West Showground, LandAlive provides a rare opportunity to bring the entire farming ecosystem together in one place.

The event is designed to encourage open conversation, knowledge sharing and practical collaboration across the sector.

Farmers will be joined by retailers, processors, policymakers, investors and researchers working on the future of food and land use.

LandAlive is not about theory. It is about what works in practice.

The programme highlights farmers and businesses who are already developing innovative approaches to managing risk, improving soil and livestock health, and building more resilient farming enterprises.
