Aligning funders and movement leaders for food systems change: Reflections on a workshop at the Oxford Real Farming Conference When I was applying to the Executive Director position at the Global Alliance for the Future of Food, I shared with the search committee the motto swirling around Silicon Valley culture and influencin...

"Move fast and break things" is a failed strategy for #FoodSystems change 🌾

At #ORFC2026, our ED Anna Lappé joined movement leaders to discuss moving at the speed of trust. When systems "break," it’s often relationships and communities that suffer.

Dr Effie Papargyropoulou and Sonja Woodcock recently attended the Oxford Real Farming Conference @orfc.bsky.social. They have written a short reflective overview of their experience and the key messages they left with.

Around 70% of mainland Britain is farmed 🌾 which is why working closely with farmers and landowners is essential for successful beaver restoration.

Open, pragmatic conversations are key, which is why we value attending events like #OFC26 and #ORFC2026.

Don’t miss the brilliant John Redhead today at #ORFC2026 talking about future crops and @ukceh.bsky.social rice trials from the #agzeroplus programme. Great to hear conference manager Hester van Hensbergen looking forward to this on R4 #FarmingToday ⬇️

“Sustainable”, “regenerative”, “agroecological" - all words we’re expecting to hear at #ORFC - but what do they actually mean?

If you spot our cards in the wild at #ORFC2026, pop a response on!
