Innovation is critical to UK food security and this year’s South West AgriTech Showcase will focus on how key stakeholders are rising to the challenge.   

The South West AgriTech Showcase will feature the latest innovations, with the agenda promising high-profile speakers, the latest research, and an indoor marketplace dedicated to networking.

Optimising natural and capital resources is a pressing need, and the day’s first session will explore Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). Led by event sponsor, the University of Plymouth, it will provide an interesting insight to alternative growing methodology. 

Addressing the interconnections between human, animal, and environmental health, event sponsor, the UK Agri-Tech Centre, will lead a session on its One Health programme. 

With the launch of the latest Environmental Space Living Lab at Bicton College, and with a Bridgewater and Taunton site to follow, event sponsor the Satellite Applications Catapult is continuing its focus on agri-tech innovation in the South West.

And recognising the opportunities for space-enabled technologies to address key challenges in the sector, it will run a workshop session with a series of roundtables to stimulate discussion between different groups at the event. 

The showcase will once again hold its popular 60-second marketplace pitches; showcasing some of the sector’s most innovative solutions to market.

Delegates will also have the opportunity to learn more about the Great South West partnership’s positioning paper ‘Delivering Future Food Security’ and its message to Government.
