Fireside chat | The Trust Gap, What it really takes to bring farmers and the transition economy together​

As agriculture transitions towards more resilient and regenerative models, finance, innovation and policy are only part of the equation. Progress ultimately depends on trust. This fireside chat will explore what it takes to build genuine partnerships between farmers and the wider transition economy, moving beyond transactional relationships towards shared ownership of change. Bringing together perspectives from the World Farmers’ Organisation and Nature4Growth, the discussion will examine how trust is earned, why transitions often stall when farmers feel excluded from decision-making, and how collaboration can accelerate meaningful action. Participants can expect an open conversation on leadership, partnership and the human dimension of agricultural transformation.
