There are so many variables in agriculture, with profitability impacted by everything from the nutrients in the soil through to extreme weather events. Some factors are controllable, many are not, but informed decisions can mitigate risk – and the digital world is facilitating this.

The role of advanced sensors and tools for modelling, forecasting and scenario planning – including digital twins – were all discussed by farmers, technologists, researchers and others with a passion for turning challenges into opportunities for the agri-food industry.

In the conference report we aim to capture some of the highlights and discussion from this vibrant event.
