Why  we need agricultural engineers

Wednesday 6 November, Rothamsted Research, UK.

Population growth, climate change, renewable energy, sustainable food production, all things we hear all around us every day. The challenges are clear, but it’s evident that working in silos is not going to achieve the results we need. These topics are inherently linked to each other and will require a collaborative systems based approach to solve.

Our conference this year will not focus on the challenges, but on how we can achieve the solutions. By encouraging the thought process between the different stakeholders, we intend to highlight what engineers working in agriculture need to focus on for the future.

The event will culminate in a panel discussion, chaired by our President Elect, Kit Franklin from HAU and Hands Free Hectare, where our speakers will answer questions from the audience and give you a chance to put your views forward.  We hope the conference will be of interest to a broad spectrum of people, including students, academics, technologists and industry engineers as we explore the future and ensure that through agricultural engineering we secure food safety for all.

We have an exciting and experienced line up of Speakers, you can read more below.  The programme is available here and booking is open.
