Innovation Week 2021

Celebrating innovation in agri-tech

Agri-EPI Centre’s week-long celebration of innovation in agri-tech took place virtually between May 24th – 28th 2021.

Innovation Week consisted of five webinars across five days with guest speakers from across the agricultural sector discussing ground-breaking recent developments in agri-tech, export opportunities for UK agribusinesses, and more.

Each day we explored the challenges research projects aim to address, the impact of agri-tech on farms and the wider agri-industry and what the future of agri-tech looks like.

Agricultural Technology Hackathon 2021

Enhancing the sustainability, productivity and profitability of farming

As a result of COVID-19, the agrifood sector faces a range of challenges: How can we keep people safe on farms? How can we plug the labour gap? And how can agricultural technology solve these problems?

Ground-breaking technology is in greater demand than ever before to tackle the reduced availability of suitably skilled labour whilst also improving precision in agricultural production systems.

The Agricultural Technology Hackathon 2021 challenged innovators around the world to hack a technology that can solve the most pressing issues facing modern agriculture, with the winning solutions given the support, mentorship and facilities needed to go from idea to reality.

Annual Conference 2021

The Path to Sustainable Farming

The aim of the Agri-EPI Centre’s annual conference is to bring together key stakeholders from across the Agricultural sector, offering an opportunity for farmers, agri-tech experts and academics to connect, network and discuss crucial matters facing the industry.

The theme for 2021 was The Path to Sustainability, where we came together to discuss agri-tech’s role in the future of farming and how it can support farms to improve productivity, sustainability & resilience across the diverse range of soils, systems, objectives and infrastructure that comprise the UK farming sector.

With the variability that influence farm decisions such as agricultural policy, the discussion at the conference provided essential insights into the future path to sustainable farming.
