ORFC 2026 8 – 9 Jan
Join the legendary gathering of the UK’s agroecological and food sovereignty movement as we return to Oxford for our 17th year!
From practical, nature-friendly farm practice to bigger questions exploring how to achieve radical food system transformation, the Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC) unites mud-on-the-boots farmers and growers with scientists, activists and policymakers, and anyone with a serious interest in food and agriculture.
ORFC offers those who share a vision for a fairer food and farming system the unique opportunity to forge connections with allies, exchange knowledge, and work together to build a just food system for all.
ORFC in-person tickets always sell out, so early booking is essential to avoid disappointment. We offer tiered tickets to ensure that ORFC reflects the radical and diverse community it represents.
Over two full days you can expect 150+ dynamic in-person talks and interactive workshops, including 45+ livestreamed sessions. The ORFC 2026 line-up will include pioneering voices from the front lines of farming, policy experts, radical food systems activists, Indigenous wisdom-keepers, cutting-edge agroecological researchers, and many more.
From a fringe protest of 50 people to a gathering of thousands, ORFC continues to bring the grassroots agroecology and food sovereignty movement together to lead the way towards a fairer food and farming system in the UK. The ORFC 2026 line-up will include 145+ dynamic in-person sessions, including 45+ livestreamed sessions, and will bring together pioneering voices from across the UK and around the world to address the crucial issues facing food and farming right now.
The 2026 hybrid conference will run from Thursday, 8th January through Friday 9th January, with in-person registration opening on the evening of Wednesday, 7th January.
An online ticket will give you access to 45+ sessions livestreamed from Oxford. An in-person ticket will give you access to all the sessions in Oxford (145+), including all the livestreamed sessions so that you can catch up on anything you missed after leaving the in-person conference. Tickets for the in-person ORFC go very quickly and space is limited, so book now to guarantee your place for January.
