About this event
This Farm Innovation event is the launch of the Agri-Tech Alliance, being the first of a series of events designed to draw the farming community, agri-tech businesses and research groups together to communicate and collaborate to innovate in farming, the backbone of Devon’s economy.
What is the Devon Agri-Tech Alliance?
The Devon Agri-Tech Alliance aims to support Devon’s agricultural sector by making innovation easier and more accessible.
It will facilitate a community of research organisations, tech developers, farmers and other agricultural businesses so that those working on the ground can help shape future research and collaborate with tech developers to ensure that research and tech solutions are practical and relevant.
It also aims to facilitate collaborations and provide spaces for discussion and knowledge transfer.
How does the Alliance benefit me?
You will be able to talk to other farmers and agricultural businesses about what works (and what doesn’t!) and hear first-hand from research organisations and tech developers about opportunities and new ways of doing things. It could lead to collaborative opportunities to test new ideas, feedback on new technology and help design future research. The knowledge you will gain could directly impact your business and future plans.
This is the first of a series of in-person and online events and workshops designed to connect agricultural businesses (including aquaculture, farming, forestry, horticulture) with agri-tech developers and research organisations (including universities, and other academic institutions) so that you can exchange ideas and collaborate to identify challenges and opportunities, design, develop, test and feedback to stimulate innovation, new ideas and opportunities.
The Alliance will be shaped by its members so in future there could be other functions as it develops. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape the direction it takes and ensure that it is relevant for Devon farmers.
If you are a farmer, landowner, research organisation or tech developer, you can join for free!
