  • Is historic data on farm soils and management under-utilised?
  • How could it be used to identify best practice?
  • How could it help farms adapt to a changing climate?
  • How could it drive adoption of sustainable practices?
  • What’sthefutureofagronomyasfarmers try to reduce inputs?
  • Will interpreting farmers’ data play a bigger role?

Join us for an interactive session of leading agronomists to explore these questions. As well as hearing an update from Dr Liz Stockdale on the Soil Health Scorecard, we will breakout into workshops to explore and understand your perspectives.
