We are very excited to come together and discuss the opportunities and challenges for sustainability in agriculture, both nationally and internationally. A preliminary agenda is now available for the Exchange, we will send out the final version with confirmed speakers and panelists prior to the day.
A prominent feature of the Exchange is the sharing of knowledge and experience. We are seeking Expressions of Interest for 10-minute TED-style talks on your exciting sustainability project or initiative – whether it be already in progress or starting soon. If you have a story you’d like to share, please head to our online form to fill in your details. We have extended the submission period to COB 20th November.
