The REAP Conference 2026, 4 November
With the Government setting out an ambitious plan for horticulture and putting robotics firmly on the agricultural agenda, the direction of travel is clear: technology has a growing role to play in the future of farming. At REAP 2026, we’ll explore that journey from every angle - science, technology, farming, supply chain and more.

What is the future we want for agriculture and how can innovation help deliver it? Is competitive, sustainable food production where agri-tech can make the most impact? Or should we concentrate our resources on land use for something we can’t buy cheaper elsewhere? High value crops to support a bio-economy? Novel forms of food production? Enhanced ecosystem services?

This report includes comments and presentations from a number of technical experts with different perspectives on what they think the future agri-food industry could look like, and explores the exciting ideas and innovations that will take us there.
