“Women in Dairy, the national platform for networking and knowledge transfer has expanded to 18 groups located throughout the country, after its official launch just over 12 months ago by the Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers and Promar International a Genus plc company, with support from AHDB Dairy,” explains RABDF’s Victoria Chomiak. “After a lengthy period of adversity within the dairy sector, this conference is designed to bring together all women working within the industry, enabling them to connect, share and inspire.
 
“The event will offer delegates the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences, to widen their horizons, generate new ideas, develop skills, confidence, innovative thinking and hard core resilience to help with their individual farm businesses and together create a vision for the future of British dairying.”
