The biennial conference organised by SRUC, Scotland’s Rural College, and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency this year addresses the theme ‘What Future for our Farming Systems? Environmental Challenges and Integrated Solutions.’
The conference is being held on March 1st and 2nd in Edinburgh and, say the organisers, will seek to encourage debate on the benefits to be gained from more sustainable resource use and greater integration of different land uses on lowland and upland farming systems.

Some 25 presentations are planned across four major themes:
