Agri-TechE’s October Newsletter

The global uncertainty may look set to continue, but we are looking ahead with some thought-provoking agri-tech. This month we’re revving up for REAP, considering carbon capture through agro-forestry, and putting the finishing touches to some new features in our 2021 events programme. Our blog this month talks all things ecosystems and why they work in the natural world as well as in agri-tech!

In this month’s newsletter:

– Making money from carbon capture and yield benefits of agroforestry – intercropping with trees deserves consideration
– Cutting edge science told with objects at REAP
– Agri-Tech Week 2020 addresses key challenges
– Agri-TechE selects Stage 1 finalists for their Gravity Challenge providing unrivalled access to earth observation and satellite data

Top News and Upcoming Events

Seeing the Wood for the Trees

Extreme weather at harvest can strip cereals of their grain, but growing trees creates a natural wind break and provides other benefits such as carbon storage.

Speakers from AbacusAgri, the Forestry Commission, Elsoms and Brown & Co will share their thoughts on how to make money from agro-forestry.

There is a chance to win a copy of ‘Agroforestry for sustainable agriculture‘, kindly donated by Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing, and 20% discount for all attendees.

8 October – online

Building an international innovation ecosystem

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.

As we show how agri-tech can be scaled, our keynote session with globally respected author and international keynote speaker Dr David Montgomery will make you think about soil health from a new perspective

Also have the opportunity to hear from companies featured in previous REAP Start-Up Showcase at REAP who will be joined by their farmer partners to talk about the adoption of technology, the learning points and benefits.
