## Resource

In this week’s round-up from Agri-TechE , I reveal what I am (according to Belbin) and what we've learnt about teamwork. Also: 📣The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs announces dynamic alignment of UK rules with the EU – a single “rule book” on agreed areas of law. I talked with CropLife UK ’s Feodora Rayner about the critical importance of good regulatory practice, science- and based policy-making and the hazard of chaos. 🤝 Meeting Steve McLean of the UK Agri-Tech Centre and hearing about their new strategy, helping agri-tech companies launch, thrive and deliver impact to the agri-food supply chain. 🫶 A meeting of minds with David Webster of LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) ……..let’s change the world together! 😊 Proud to be welcoming Robert Bradburne the Chief Scientific Advisor to the Environment Agency to our “Nature-tech for Profit and Planet” conference in April. There’s still time to book an exhibition slot and your delegate ticket and put your questions about flooding, soils health, and tech for ELM to him (and others). ✈️ Revving up to welcome our friends from the ARISE programme to the UK next week, still time to book partnering meetings with delegates from LATAM and St Louis, Missouri. Met or mentioned this week: Earthbase | AgriTIERRA | The Yield Lab Institute | The Yield Lab LATAM | Judith Batchelar OBE | Stella Peace | Minette Batters DL | Anne Ferguson-Smith | Matt Smith | News, trends, and breakthroughs shaping the future of farming, brought to you by Agri-TechE. We are a not-for-profit, independent organisation for our members.
