Essential to driving innovation and transformation across the UK’s agri-food sector, we work closely with agricultural associations, societies and trade bodies.
We partner with a wide range of professional farming, retail, academic and agricultural organisations and associations to amplify our collective knowledge, share industry insights and create meaningful connections that benefit the entire agricultural community.
We actively engage with sector-wide challenges and opportunities, helping to identify common goals and create platforms for collaborative problem-solving by facilitating dialogue between different groups. Our work includes organising industry forums, coordinating working groups and developing joint initiatives that address shared challenges.
Trade associations and societies play a vital role in representing their members’ interests. We work alongside these organisations to ensure their members can access cutting-edge agri-tech solutions and opportunities. This includes connecting them with relevant research projects, facilitating knowledge transfer and providing access to our extensive network of experts and facilities.
Through our partnerships with industry bodies, we help shape agricultural policy and drive technological advancement. We collaborate on position papers and contribute to industry consultations. Together, we work to identify priority areas for innovation, ensuring that technological developments align with real industry needs and practical applications.
Our relationships with associations and societies extend beyond individual projects. We establish long-term strategic partnerships that create sustainable value for the agricultural sector. By combining our resources and expertise, we deliver programs that support skills development, technology adoption and industry growth.
We’re focused on all areas of crops, livestock and engineering and exploring new sectors within food, feed, fuel and fibres.
Join a diverse community from industry and science, committed to transforming UK food and farming. Doing better for businesses, the future of the agri-food sector and the planet.
