Farm Business Innovation Show 2025: The Debrief
It was great to be back in Birmingham’s NEC for the Farm Business Innovation Show 2025.
Over the two days, we had the pleasure of connecting with many entrepreneurial landowners and farmers seeking new and innovative ways to diversify land and income beyond traditional farming.
Sleight Farm: A day on the farm with commercial property experts, JLL
On 13 October, we welcomed the Bristol based planning team at JLL - global leaders in real estate and investment management - at our Bath and North East Somerset BNG habitat site, Sleight Farm. For this fantastic bunch of city dwellers, stepping out in nature proved to be a breath of fresh air!
Rycote Farm: BNG that delivers lasting returns - for people, development and nature
Working in partnership with landowner Alain - a third-generation farmer stewarding a 300-acre farm rich in British heritage and nestled near Thame is South Oxfordshire - we’re embarking on an ambitious 33-year nature recovery programme.
A collaboration rooted in shared values: sustainability, productivity, and a belief that restoring nature through BNG is the underpinning of growth.
BNG is a simple idea with powerful consequences: when developers build, they must leave nature in a better state than they found it. It means development and nature work hand-in-hand – construction funding restoration; restoration sustaining the economy.
Development doesn’t need to cost the earth
At Biofarm, we’ve always believed development and biodiversity can coexist. The launch of our new site makes that clearer than ever, showing how nature, the built-environment, and communities can grow side by side.
Nature loss could wipe almost 5% off UK GDP this decade. New evidence from the Green Finance Institute and WWF shows just how tightly our economy and wellbeing are bound to nature - and why urgent action can’t wait.
