Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology host a Breakfast Briefing 'Soil and Water Management'.

'Soil and Water Management' Farmer & Grower Business Breakfast on Wednesday 25th November 08:00-10.00.

Join the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT) for our next Breakfast Briefing, exploring the challenges and opportunities surrounding soil and water management in agriculture.

With increasing pressure on water resources, changing weather patterns and the need to maintain healthy, productive soils, how can farmers and growers adapt?

Hear from industry experts, researchers and farmers as we explore practical approaches to soil health, water management, drainage, irrigation and farm resilience. The session will consider the challenges facing agriculture today, the role of organisations such as Internal Drainage Boards, emerging technologies, and the actions farmers and growers can take to prepare for the future.

The session will bring together industry knowledge, research innovation and real-world farming experience, with opportunities for discussion and networking.
