Farm Business Innovation
Charlotte Smith hears about diversification in agriculture at the 2018 Farm Business Innovation Show, which aims to offer farmers a way to boost their profit margins
Charlotte reports from the 2018 Farm Business Innovation show at the Birmingham NEC, where she hears how rural businesses can diversify and boost the bottom line. Just outside Cambridge there has been quite a different gathering of innovators - using artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and lab-based discoveries in animal biology to explore how farming might look in the future. Anna Hill reports from AgriTech East's REAP conference. The food expert Professor Tim Lang gives his response to the Oxford University report calling for a so-called 'meat tax'.
