ADAS hosted: Use of crop sensing in field vegetable and potato crops

This event showcased the use of crop sensing in field vegetable and potato crops.

It was delivered as part of the EU Interreg 2 Seas INNO-VEG project (www.inno-veg.org). The INNO-VEG project is developing a new approach for carrying out research on field vegetable and potato crops by using crop sensing data to assess treatment differences.

Agri-TechE hosted: REAP Conference 2020: From micro-scape to landscape – innovating at the frontier

Managing complexity is the biggest challenge for agriculture, as every variable – from the microbes in the soil to global weather patterns – can impact productivity, profitability and sustainability.

Agri-TechE is at the heart of a vibrant agri-tech innovation ecosystem, and this year’s REAP conference is taking a farmer-centric view of the emerging approaches and technologies that promise improved decision-making at every level.

AHDB hosted: Technologies to enhance soil monitoring and crop management

The Rotations Partnership, is a collaboration between industry partners and four research organisations, looking at the impact of rotations on crop yields. The aim is to gain a better understanding of how fundamental changes in soil characteristics impact crop performance.

Norwich Research Park hosted: Crops and non-chemical pest control – genetics, environment and biodiversity

The aim of this event was to explore the complex interactions between crop, pest and non-chemical controls in a changing climatic and regulatory environment.

RNAA hosted: Back to reality? Pushing the boundaries in agri-tech and innovation

The global COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a rapid transformation in communications and connectivity. This has accelerated changes that were already underway in agriculture. The RNAA hosted a webinar that tackles the issues and implications: How have the new conditions affected the industry? How much is here to stay – or is this just a passing phase? Does the ‘new norm’ open up new opportunities and, if so, how can these be exploited to benefit knowledge exchange and innovation in agriculture?

NIAB hosted: Soil health and the circular economy; A sustainable future for agriculture

The use of farm waste to improve soil structure, health and performance were the key themes for this practical, evidence-based seminar.
