Great discussions today at the @CHAPAgriTech hosted alternative plant protein workshop in Birmingham!
It was great to work together from in cross-discipline groups to create a shortlist and highlight some of the practical barriers for incorporation into commercial agriculture!
Big thanks to @Emmacowley44 and @James_Fortune11 for sharing their journeys at #DTAAutumnConnect23. Great insight to the various career paths that are possible following a PhD.
Had a fantastic evening at the first Norfolk branch @IAgrM meeting for 20 years!
Thank you @williamrhaire from @easton_college and Richard Price from @IAgrM for your presentations this evening! It was great to learn about your experience and all of the membership benefits!
Our spirits were not dampened by the weather!
Thank you Simon Bowen for taking us around the @BBRO_Beet field trial site this morning. It was great to see such large differences in disease pressure and green leaf area between different #fungicide programmes in #sugarbeet!
Really enjoyed giving a presentation about the start of my journey in #Ag. Thank you @Laura_AgriTech from @Agri_Tech_E for organising and Emma Kelcher from @yagroltd for her presentation.
It was great to see so many like minded individuals together! The future is bright!
