๐ฑ Funding for plant science & technology focussed researchers
If you have a particular interest in addressing horticultural crop quality (fruit, vegetables and potatoes) and postharvest food loss, this research funding from @HortQFLNet could be for you.

Just a little reality check for anyone who doesnโt think itโs that serious โ at East, England

OMG the arrogance is stupefying. If @timleunig believes we should not feed ourselves, why on earth should we impose that burden on other nations that are less able and less efficient than us at doing so? #SackTimLeunig @Minette_Batters @NFUtweets theguardian.com/politics/202โฆ

So short sighted to believe we donโt need UK farming. In a more uncertain world than weโve seen in decades & with an ever growing dominance of long complex supply chains that can do easily be disrupted a solid base of quality, traceable, high integrity food security is vital. โ at East, England

Iโve seen things today I would not have believed.
Large parts of my home town and village are underwater tonight.
This is not normal flooding, we are in uncharted territory.
So sorry for everyone who has flooded.
Back tomorrow.

Fantastic event at Homewood, HC's residence in Wellington about how NZ made it's way as a free trading nation in the 70s and 80s, from the people who know like Lockwood Smith. Lots of lessons for UK as we leave EU. ๐ฌ๐ง๐ณ๐ฟ #tradingnations #outintotheworld

Extraordinary that @BBCNews lays the blame for climate change on cattle and sheep. Not #airmiles not #vehicles not transporting almonds, avocados, asparagus half way round the world. Who remembers the countryside bereft of livestock post footandmouth?

Simple & clear explanation of how IoT can support us going forward in Agriculture...
You might have heard of #IoT but here's a video explainer for Industrial IoT. We believe that 5G will be a real enabler for Industrial IoT in areas like agriculture and energy. What applications would you like to see?
