AgriFuture Awards 2026

Celebrating Excellence. Inspiring the Future.

The AgriFuture Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of Black and People of Colour (Global Majority) individuals, organisations and networks across the UK food and farming sectors.

These inaugural awards recognise the Global Majority people and organisations who are driving innovation, leading with purpose, building stronger communities and shaping a more inclusive future for our UK sectors.

Every day, talented Global Majority professionals are making a difference—from farmers and veterinarians to researchers, entrepreneurs, educators and community leaders in the UK. These awards shine a spotlight on their achievements, celebrate their contributions and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Why These Awards Matter

Representation matters. Recognition matters.

While the food, farming and veterinary sectors are changing, the contributions of Global Majority professionals are too often overlooked. The AgriFuture Awards aim to change that by celebrating excellence, increasing visibility and recognising those creating lasting impact.

By highlighting success stories, we hope to:

  • Celebrate outstanding achievements across the UK Agri-Food sector.

  • Inspire future generations to pursue careers in UK food, farming and veterinary professions.

  • Recognise organisations and individuals championing inclusion and opportunity.

  • Build stronger, more connected networks across the industry.

  • Showcase the diversity of talent helping shape the future of UK agriculture and food.
