About this event

The Oxford Farming Conference (OFC) is a highlight of the farming industry calendar bringing together people from all corners of the agricultural, rural and food sectors. It provides a platform for discussion, inspiration and new ways of thinking, right at the start of the year.

In a period of continued turbulence in global markets, conflict and political unrest, as well as an increasingly divisive media, the conference will explore how greater cohesion in the farming and food industry can help build stability and sustainability of business and the environment in which they operate.

This will draw on the many threads that shape our industry: The people and relationships; land use and the environment; global trade and policies; technology and the science that underpins it. It will champion the ambition to be bold: to question how we think and work, to seek positive change across our industry, and to work more closely together in greater harmony.

The conference will focus on building a confident, collaborative, and resilient food and farming sector, one that embraces opportunity, supports its people, and works collectively for the greater good.

The council are currently considering and deliberating on some of the many topics that could be discussed from 6th to 8th January, and will be developing an agenda that will encompass all that our delegates love about OFC, ensuring an uplifting but contemplative start to 2027.
