Croissants & Questions

Join us for our next ‘Croissants & Questions’ business breakfast of 2025

This month’s theme is strategic land management at the  Royal Agricultural University (RAU) and in the Cotswolds.

Our guest speakers this month are Professor Nicola Cannon (Professor of Agriculture, RAU), Rachel Wheatley (Project Manager of the GREAT Zerodig site at the RAU), Charles Nash (Land Manager, Sapperton Wilder) and Chenie Prudhomme (Ecologist, Sapperton Wilder).

They will discuss strategic land management at the RAU and within the Cotswolds, in relation to the RAU Farms, GREAT Zerodig and Sapperton Wilder, exploring how both the University and these two Cotswolds projects optimise their land use to meet their strategic objectives.  

They will illuminate how they deploy technological innovations to support data-driven decision making on land usage, and how they manage their land in line with sustainable and regenerative principles.

Their talks will be followed by a Q&A and the opportunity to network with others interested in agriculture and strategic land management.

 Thursday 27 March, 8.00 am – 9.30 am, Farm491 HQ, Alliston Centre, RAU campus
