Demo Day at Elveden Estate 12 May: Soils and Water Management Innovation

Elveden Estate will host Agri‑TechE’s upcoming Demo Day on Soils and Water Management on 12 May, bringing farmers and technologists together to explore practical solutions for soil health and water efficiency in one of the driest regions of the UK.

Attendees will join Managing Director Andrew Blenkiron for a guided walk around the farm, gaining insight into Elveden’s environmentally responsible approach to managing over 10,000 acres of productive farmland. The estate is known for its large‑scale vegetable production, growing significant proportions of the UK’s onions, carrots, parsnips and potatoes, while maintaining a strong commitment to biodiversity and long‑term soil fertility.

The event will feature live demonstrations and pitches from leading innovators in soil and water management, including technologies for soil moisture sensing, irrigation efficiency, biological soil health measurement, and satellite‑enabled connectivity. Participants will also have the chance to network with other farmers and technology developers exploring new tools to support sustainable agriculture.

This Demo Day is ideal for growers seeking practical, on‑farm innovations and for technologists looking to test or showcase new products. Limited places are available, with discounted tickets for Agri‑TechE members and farmers – click here for more info and booking.
