ATW 2022 features eight events across farms, Universities and research institutes and centres, designed to showcase exciting developments in agri-tech and bring together the agri-tech innovation ecosystem. Here we give a taster of the week.

Livestock farming has come under pressure for its environmental impacts. Rothamsted Research is creating a Digital Twin on its North Wyke Farm Platform to assist farm resilience – just one of the data-driven systems being discussed at this ATW event.

Chance to see a robotic dairy in action in this event hosted by RNAA. Farmer Mark Barnes will be sharing insights into how the milking robots are helping to improve cow health, reproduction and productivity.

The Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association has inspired the agricultural community for over 175 years. Through sponsorship of the bursary more farmers and agricultural students are able to attend REAP and take a deep dive into the next phase of on-farm digital technology.

Savills provides agribusiness advice that meets the changing needs of modern farming and estate management. For many years it has supported the vibrant Farmer Breakfast at REAP, which features a discussion with Defra.

Innovate UK drives productivity and economic growth by supporting businesses to develop and realise the potential of new ideas. Its due diligence has benefitted many businesses in the agri-tech eco-system and helps to de-risk private investment.

Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing is an award winning, “climate-smart” publisher in agricultural science. Its online resources provide a review of the latest research written by leading experts.

Rothamsted Enterprises provides a unique hub for early stage agri-tech companies. It has supported the Start-Up Showcase for several years, and this has been a springboard for many successful companies.

And thank you to our venue, the Hinxton Hall Conference Centre on the Wellcome Genome Campus, CB10 1RQ, just south of Cambridge – it is our fourth time here.
