This month’s Brassica and Leafy Salad Conference is promising an engaging day of innovation, collaboration and celebration within the two sectors.
The event takes place on Thursday 30 January at the Leicester Tigers Conference Centre, with BASF Nunhems announced this week as the main conference sponsor. The event will be followed by a gala dinner in the evening.
The programme will include a look at agtech advancements presented by Autonomous Agri, consumer insights from Kantar, a talk on ’Crop Protection: Past, Present, and Future’ by Horticulture Crop Protection, issues management with Dieter Lloyd Marketing Consultancy, and cutting-edge research updates from Professor Rosemary Collier of the University of Warwick.
