Rob Bradburne, Chief Scientist at the Environment Agency, will be opening as the keynote speaker at the NatureTech Conference on 28th April
With the Environmental Improvement Plan 2025 published at the end of last year, it’s a timely moment to hear the Agency’s thinking first hand - and to respond with your own reflections from the field, lab or workshop.

Agri-TechE Week 2016 – inspirational!

Agri-TechE

From blue sky thinking to generations-old cider production – Agri-TechE Week this year has had it all.  Seven events across five counties involving a diversity of organisations, companies and individuals across the whole value chain.

We are still taking stock but here is a highlight of the week.

The Start-up Showcase at REAP, sponsored by the Rothamsted Centre for Research and Enterprise, featured six of the hottest young companies. It was suddenly given a sci-fi twist when the Dogtooth robotic strawberry harvester entered dramatically down a ramp.
