Groundswell Agriculture brings together farmers, ministers, lenders, global brands, scientists and more - all standing on the same ground. This year, one idea came up time and time again: RESILIENCE. And no wonder… Since the last Groundswell, the UK has recorded its hottest summer ever, a winter in which parts of the country saw rain for 40 consecutive days, and a 2026 spring and June that both broke national temperature records. Resilience has stopped being a concept for the conference circuit. It is now a practical question that every supply chain CFO, every lender and every farmer is asking of the land it depends on. What made the two days special for us was the company we kept. It was a privilege to stand alongside partners like Oxbury Bank Plc, The Duchy Of Cornwall and Cholmondeley Estate - organisations doing the real work of making resilience measurable, fundable and repeatable at scale. Thank you to everyone who stopped by and shared their perspective. The conversations don't end when the tents come down, and we are here to support your plans for the season ahead.
