Great discussion on why public engagement in farming matters. #LEAFConf26 As we look ahead to 20 years of @OpenFarmSunday, the panel highlighted the need to rebuild trust in our food system, connect diets to sustainable farming & empower the public to make informed choices.

And we’re off! LEAF's David Webster opens the day by reflecting on the vision of LEAF’s founder, Caroline Drummond. Her belief that ā€œchange happens from the bottom up & we must celebrate farm sustainability in all its forms.ā€ That core principle lives on in all of LEAF’s work.
