The NFU is a proud partner of the show which is rapidly becoming a central event for low carbon farming. At a time when food and energy security are rightly high on everyone’s minds, the show provides targeted support for producing climate-friendly food, energy and fibre. There is a wealth of practical advice from experts on energy, environment, agri-tech and low emissions vehicles.

I’m really impressed by the diversity of the audiences at LCA. There's a good mix of stalls and some are talking about really cool AgriTech, renewables, and massive power charges for vehicles.
