Soya to Sustainability Conference
January 28, 2026 @ 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
Industry leaders to explore soya alternatives at national conference
The From Soya to Sustainability conference returns to Peterborough on Wednesday 28th January 2026, bringing together leaders from across the agri-food sector to accelerate the shift towards a more sustainable, secure, and resilient UK food system.
Building on the momentum of last year’s event, the 2026 conference will spotlight the environmental, economic, and nutritional benefits of integrating pulses – especially faba beans – into livestock feed. Hosted by partners in the NCS project at the KingsGate Conference Centre, Peterborough, the event will explore how reducing reliance on imported soya can cut carbon emissions, enhance soil health, and contribute to national net zero goals.
Industry leading speakers will tackle topics including:
- How faba beans and other UK-grown pulses can reduce the quantity of imported soya needed for livestock feed, while also bringing environmental benefits.
- The role of sustainable feed in reducing Scope 3 emissions, which account for up to 70% of food sector carbon footprints*.
- New data from on-farm trials and collaborative projects driving change in the UK and beyond.
- The power of cross-sector collaboration in building more transparent and sustainable supply chains.
The conference will be of particular value to food industry and retail professionals, farmers, animal feed manufacturers and nutritionists, policymakers, environmental NGOs and other agri-food professionals.
