Event founder Tom Pycraft says: "It is crucial for the future of our planet and humanity that we create mass adoption of healthy food and farming systems that work in harmony with nature. In today's polarised climate, it is no small task to find common ground and shape a shared vision for how we use land, but it is essential if we want to drive a collective shift through policy, supply chains, retailers, the press and ultimately to consumers. At the Ark Summit, we will move beyond ideological divides to focus on uniting perspectives and unlocking investment in systemic change to create real impact."
