Rob Bradburne, Chief Scientist at the Environment Agency, will be opening as the keynote speaker at the NatureTech Conference on 28th April
With the Environmental Improvement Plan 2025 published at the end of last year, it’s a timely moment to hear the Agency’s thinking first hand - and to respond with your own reflections from the field, lab or workshop.

Welcoming James Phillips to our Stakeholder Group

Agri-TechE

Agri-TechE are delighted to welcome James Phillips as the latest new addition to the Agri-TechE Stakeholder Group.
Agri-TechE is constantly working to keep our offering current and relevant to our diverse range of organisations in our membership, from those undertaking discovery research, to farmers and growers, to so-called “ecosystem enablers” and large and small agri-businesses. “We are so lucky to have a highly-engaged, challenging and supporting Stakeholder Group to ensure our activities align with the rapidly changing needs and opportunities of agri-tech” comments Agri-TechE ’s Director, Belinda Clarke “And we are thrilled that James has kindly agreed to be part of that Group, which is so important to our strategy and delivery.”
“It’s an exciting time at the moment with lots of strategic development and forums like Agri-TechE are invaluable to get a sense of the needs and opportunities of the sector” commented James, about his appointment.
James succeeds Dr Andy Cureton on the Stakeholder Group who is moving to a new role within UK Research and Innovation.
