British Farming Awards 2022: Winners announced

As the British Farming Awards celebrated its milestone 10th anniversary last Thursday, more than 800 farmers and fellow professionals gathered to honour the dedication and achievements of this year’s finalists.

Sponsored by Morrisons, farmers from across the UK gathered at The Vox in Birmingham, battled it out for the 18 categories up for grabs.

Alongside farming’s core sectors including – dairy, beef, sheep, arable and machinery – there was also recognition for students, family farms, sustainable businesses, and new entrants coming into the industry.

The ever-increasing sophistication and developments within agri-technology was also recognised, with the category welcoming a record number of entries.

Host Patrick Kielty praised the audience for their innovation and extraordinary commitment along as food producers, innovators and custodians of the countryside.

Sophie Throup, Morrisons head of agriculture, fisheries and sustainable sourcing, said:

“The British Farming Awards are a welcome reminder of the dedication and hard work demonstrated by UK farmers all year round. At Morrisons, we have always valued British farming and the effort, innovation and skills which go into providing food farmed to the high standards that we all enjoy and is something we should be proud of."
