NOW AVAILABLE: Some of the presentations and a compilation of talk summaries from the CCF / RELU summer symposium on "Future farming in the UK: global implications for society and biodiversity".

For further information, please see our Meeting Reports page.

The Symposium took place on Friday 11th January at Girton College, and provided a stimulating day of conservation conversation.

It was a great success - thanks to all who were involved.

In March 2007 the Church of England and the Environment Agency jointly convened a consultation of local people. After explaining likely impacts of climate change on flooding and water shortage, the delegates were asked for their views through a series of exercises. There were some surprising results eg a high level of acceptance for water meters. Nature conservation scored relatively highly. This type of consultation was welcomed by delegates and agencies. The full report is available as a Word document.
