Have your say on Scottish Government Agricultural Reform Programme  

 

The Scottish Government stand at the Future Farming Expo will be staffed by agriculturalists ready to talk to farmers and crofters about what they can do to prepare for changing agricultural support.  

 

They will provide information on the support available and will also be inviting visitors to the stand to have their say and shape how support is delivered by registering to participate in research, including interviews, surveys, workshops, testing and trials.  

 

Future Energy Integrations Conference 

 

The Future Farming Expo will also host the Future Energy Integrations Conference, joining forces with two influential organisations: UK Urban AgriTech (UKUAT) and FarmTech Society. This partnership brings together the UK's leading authority on urban agriculture and a global non-profit association focused on Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Together, they are co-locating a conference, with this collaboration representing a significant milestone in advancing sustainable farming practices, driving innovation, and ensuring the resilience of our food systems. 

 

High-profile speakers and insightful debate 

 

During the event, panels of expert speakers will cover topics across eight 'knowledge hubs' chosen to spark engaging discussion and provide practical solutions for farmers dealing with the challenges of creating profitable, sustainable businesses. The knowledge hubs are: Business and Personal Resilience; Carbon and Soils; Arable; Livestock; Renewables and Energy; Diversification; Horticulture and Vertical Farming; and Robotics.
