Agri-TechE for Farmers
We help farmers address challenges and find solutions by fostering connections with innovators, identifying funding opportunities, and making the latest research accessible.
How could membership help you?
Our diverse farming members span arable, livestock, and horticultural production across the UK and beyond – including broadacre, protected and vertical farming. We facilitate collaborations with researchers and technologists, helping maximise the opportunities presented by changing market demands and policy drivers.
As a member, you’ll benefit from:
- Finding practical solutions that work on your farm. We connect you with research and technologies to achieve your on-farm goals – such as regenerative techniques, improving the soil microbiome, smart water management, better crop prediction, and automation.
- Informing technology development to help shape the solutions you need. Our regular online Farmer First Innovation Group (FFIG) brings together progressive farmers with innovators developing new products or designing beneficial trials.
- Be inspired by other innovative farmers. From farm walks to the farmer-exclusive breakfast at our annual REAP conference, you will have a unique chance to network and learn from your pro-innovation peers.
