As the backbone of the global food supply chain, agriculture and horticulture are essential to meeting the increasing demand for sustainable, high-quality produce as the world's population continues to grow. But the agricultural industry faces a minefield of challenges, from labour shortages to supply chain disruptions that are increasingly capturing global attention. In this complex landscape, it has become more vital than ever to understand the real issues faced 'on-farm', to explore diverse and innovative solutions, and discover the role of technology in shaping and delivering the future of the agricultural industry.

Our featured farmers will give you a glimpse into the lives of those who work to bring food from farm to table.
