Grain ‘swimming’ robots, emission-lowering manure management and insect protein for animal feed are just some of the innovations paving the way for a more sustainable future for farming.

These and other new technologies will be showcased at the UK Agri-Tech Centres conference, ‘Agri-Tech and Environmental Sustainability’ on Thursday April 21.

Attendees will hear from companies at the forefront of UK agri-tech, who are leading the technology-driven charge to transform farming and food production for a healthier planet.
