The ORFC brings together practising, mud-on-the-boots farmers and growers with scientists and economists, and activists and lawyers, and everyone else with a serious interest in food and agriculture. The idea is to ask the really big questions - like what kind of farming do we really need and why; but also to focus at least equally on the minutiae of practice - and to see who, right now, in Britain and the world at large, is truly farming and marketing and cooking in ways that the world really needs, and others can emulate.
