A “point of difference” not a “pointless difference”

What this episode covers

Hazel Alpaca (newly-shorn) and I are here to tell you about Cereals, the Festival of Fresh, the next in our “Agri-Tech Meets…” series, plus the Big Announcement that UK farmers have been awaiting. This week from Agri-TechE:🕳️ My learnings from the Niab soil hole at Cereals Event (and thank you David Clarke for a great explanation about "plate-y" limestone and following the wormholes). 💭 A mantra for #agritech start-ups - when you have great tech but are innovating in a crowded field.🥗 From Cereals – to fresh produce, with the Festival of Fresh hosted by G's Group. Audit process streamlining, the rise of the robots – and a discussion about Ultra Processed Foods (link to the public dialogue report in the comments below).🚀 Agri-Tech Meets… SPACE in the next in our series of exploring the interfaces between sectors.📉 The budget for the next phase of the Sustainable Farming Incentive has been announced by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs… is it going to be enough? (answers on a postcard). Also great catch-ups with Steve McLean from the UK Agri-Tech Centre, and a very valuable meeting of the Agriculture Sector Group supporting Innovate UK Business Connect.News, trends, and breakthroughs shaping the future of farming, brought to you by Agri-TechE.
