Opis

Overview

Succession planning on family farms is one of the most complex—and emotionally charged—topics in agriculture. Around the world, families are grappling with rising costs, policy changes, shifting expectations, inter-generational fairness, and the pressure to balance heritage with economic survival.

The International Succession Symposium aims to bring together global experts, practitioners and farming voices to explore how these issues are evolving across continents. This event is designed not as a lecture, but as a shared conversation: a chance for farmers, advisers and academics from the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America to compare experiences and learn from one another.

Speakers & Panellists

The symposium will feature short presentations and reflections from leading voices in agricultural succession:

  • John Baker (Iowa, USA) 
  • Professor Matt Lobley (University of Exeter, UK)
  • Shane Conway (Atlantic Technological University, Ireland) 
  • Andrew Lawson (University of New England, Australia) 

The session will be chaired by Michael Mack, Chair of the Succession Alliance (UK).

How the Symposium Will Work

Participants are asked to submit a question when booking. These questions will be collated, grouped and reviewed by the panel. During the event, the panellists will select several key questions that reflect shared challenges across countries and cultures. These may include themes such as:

  • Is succession planning becoming easier — or more difficult — for farm families?
  • Is “Farm Boy Syndrome” a form of domestic or emotional abuse?
  • How do families navigate fairness when not all children want (or are able) to farm?
  • What can different countries learn from one another about early planning and communication?

The goal is not to arrive at a single answer, but to deepen our collective understanding of how succession is changing, and to highlight what support, education and policy shifts might be needed worldwide.

  • Rural advisers, accountants and solicitors
