Robert Craig, grass based farmer and Dave Craven from Grosvenor Farms will go head to head in a low v high input systems session discussing the carbon footprint of their farms, highlighting how their practice contributes to this, and what measures they’ve undertaken to reduce their contribution. Focus will shift on the Innovation Hub where it’ll be all things new – products, ideas, technology, concepts and techniques. Slots will cover the positive effects of satellite intelligence, biological solutions for reducing emissions and emerging agri-tech with an exclusive app store section – identifying the latest apps farms need to download.

How much could be saved by adopting best practice when it comes to emissions from slurry? How can we meet future demands with genetics to breed healthy and sustainable herds? What drivers are the key to optimum efficiency? The Skills Studio will return – acting as the one-stop-shop for all things career development featuring student debates, CV

To support the importance of wellbeing throughout the sector we will be hosting a Wellness Clinic. Operating on a drop in basis, visitors will have the chance to call by and receive a free check up. The tech-zone will return, where visitors can road-test new technology, as will the research centre, a collection of universities comprising of advice and guidance relevant to the whole spectrum of dairy jobs and dairy systems on the market.
