The Oxford Farming Conference

In 1974, the conference title was ‘The World, Its Food and My Farm. It was a year marked by Britain entering its first post-war recession, a three day week, two general elections and a state of emergency in Northern Ireland.

As the UK adapts to living with COVID-19, this #OFCBitesize looked back to the past and discussed how the food sector can adapt to the new conditions in 2020.
