Agriconnect has announced the launch of a brand-new event for 2023 title Future Farming Expo Scotland.

It will be held over two days on Tuesday, October 10, and Wednesday, October 11, 2023, at the P&J Live event venue in Aberdeen.

The event will centre around a series of hubs and debates with over 100 exhibitors and aims to help Scottish farmers, advisors and rural businesses to become more resilient, look at ways to re-think their businesses and face challenges head-on.

Topics covered at the event are set to include:

  • Business and Personal Resilience Hub;
  • Carbon and Soils Hub;
  • Arable Hub;
  • Livestock Hub;
  • Renewables and Energy Hub;
  • Diversification Hub:
  • Horticulture and Vertical Farming Hub;
  • Robotics Hub.

The event organisers said the fabric of primary agricultural production in Scotland – and elsewhere – has been drastically reshaped in recent years and it is now more important than ever to help producers prepare for the future, become more sustainable and manage innovation for change.

Nichola Bell, head of events for Agriconnect, said: “With its proud farming heritage and global importance in food production, Scotland is the perfect place to continue to support farmers in dealing with the serious challenges they face.

“Our aim is to provide attendees with ideas and inspiration for their businesses, as well as a clearer path forward during a challenging time both in Scotland and globally.”

Event producer of Future Farming Expo, Emma Penny, said the event will not be another run-of-the-mill conference visitors will sit and be “talked at” for the duration of it.

“Instead, it will be dynamic, practical and offer attendees the chance to bring their own issues forward for in-depth, one-to-one discussion with other farmers, exhibitors and experts,” she said.
