Wednesday Morning (11am-12pm) - Dog Attacks on Livestock: Where are we now?
Join us as we discuss how best to prevent dog attacks on livestock following the unexpected u-turn on the UK Kept Animals Bill. In particular, we will be examining the role of DNA evidence to identify dogs where there have been no witnesses to the crime.
Wednesday Afternoon (2pm-3pm) - Environmental Payments to farmers- a goldmine or a minefield?
How can we ensure private and public finance for 'natural capital' works for our family farms and food production in Wales, and what are the options? Our speakers will help
outline the opportunities and risks for farmers in this new market.
Thursday Morning (10:30am-12:30pm) - LIVE recording of the Hiraeth Podcast
Brexit has been one of the most contentious issues in the history of our politics, but what does it mean for farming? Have the promises of less regulation, cheaper food and fairer subsidies materialised? What do the new trade deals negotiated by the UK government mean for Rural Communities? Join us and the Hiraeth podcast as we discuss this and more.
