Forum members

The Greater Lincolnshire Forum for Agriculture and Horticulture (GLFFAH) is comprised of members from across the sector. Some are based in farming and consultancy, others in local government and academia.

This gives the forum a broad voice that can fully represent and listen to the challenges and opportunities present in the sector, and help drive forward collaboration, solutions and lobby national decision-makers.

As well as permanent members, specialists in topics under discussion are invited to meetings as well as representatives from the Department for Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
