Pressure is growing to find new ways of producing nitrogen and reducing dependency on chemical synthesis of this important nutrient via the Haber process. Harnessing biological and physico-chemical approaches to the problem is yielding some exciting opportunities for production of alternatives to synthetic fertilisers. Join us and learn how to make fertiliser from air and water, fix nitrogen from the air into soil, and how to provide a nitrogen turbo-charge for fields.

Covid-19 has dramatically shifted the way we communicate and digest information in the sector. Meetings, conferences and shows that used to happen face-to-face have for the most part been delivered digitally. How has this online offering influenced knowledge sharing? What new digital tools have emerged to help with decision making? How adaptable has the industry been? What weaknesses have been exposed? Join us for an interactive workshop to explore these questions and hear from the researchers leading on a rapid appraisal on the topic, as part of the Innovate UK-funded Farm-PEP project.

Lombard Asset Finance will be exploring how businesses can use asset finance to get the equipment they need to grow as well as what finance options could be available to help meet business needs.

The role and impact of data on the way we produce food and manage the environment is gaining faster traction among farmers, land managers and the wider supply chain. Yet still the data tsunami threatens to overwhelm if it isn’t managed properly and carefully. Join us for some case studies of tech companies and farm businesses who are working together to ensure the data makes a difference.

This is your opportunity to meet the key players in the value chain and learn more about the agronomy of these crops, new variety development, processing solutions and needs, regulatory requirements and potential routes to market.

Remote sensing and monitoring, communications technology and automation are being deployed to help make agriculture a safer industry. Hear about some of the latest tools to help improve the safety track record around managing livestock and arable, as well as in controlled environment conditions. We’ll be highlighting some of the latest new products, tools and services, as well as hearing from farmers what they’d like to see to make their working lives even safer.

This unique one-day introduction provides an overview of agri-industries, the challenges faced and the opportunities. It is aimed at giving useful insights to those new to the sector and to people from other industries.
