Agri-EPI Centre is delighted to be attending the New Scientist Live festival in London from the 10 -13 October. The event, which is in its fourth year and recognised as Europe’s top science festival, is expected to welcome a crowd of over 40,000.

There is an increasing need for highly skilled people with technical know-how and a truly innovative outlook in order to maximise the potential of agri-tech. We hope that, at New Scientist Live, we will be able to tell this story to show that there is an exciting and tech-driven future for agriculture and for those who choose to work in the industry.”
