Tickets sold out long ago (much higher demand than an FA cup game )
They have a Blog on the website i think ?
I haven't been for a couple of years as it got a bit stale (these things often get the same people with the same cyclic arguments yer after year)
But i would go again & recommend it for anyone interested in a slightly different view for UK ag than '' spray it, weigh it , sell it''

I've never been but always wanted to.
Know a handful of the speakers there every year. Interesting farms/people with interesting outlooks!
A most definitely think outside the box kind of conference!

What’s the difference between the Oxford Farming Conference and the Oxford Real Farming Conference?

What’s the difference between the Oxford Farming Conference and the Oxford Real Farming Conference?

OFC---suits , £325 a ticket & plenty of ''industry figures''
ORFC ---sandals, £80 a ticket & lots more farmers

Sweeping statement but
OFC is for GMO loving how can we feed the world types.
ORFC is for how can we combat hunger in the world by discovering how soils, animals and fauna interact with each other.
Just my opinion.

20 years of being organic and now I have to buy a pair of sandals!
