About
In its 12th year, the REAP Conference is Agri-TechE’s flagship event unites our ecosystem around a topical theme. It attracts researchers, innovators, government officials, agribusiness leaders and farmers from across the UK and beyond.
With over a decade of experience, REAP has built a reputation for uniting the agri-tech ecosystem around a pressing, topical theme.
REAP Conference 2025: Theme
This year’s REAP conference will focus on what could be the three most vital pillars for the future of farming: Connection, Co-Development and Co-Existence.
As pressure on resources, land, time, money and people continues to grow, sharing and collaborating is increasingly key. But collaboration is more than working together, it’s about co-creation. As we discovered at our Challenge Convention, solutions designed with user-centered focus are the ones more likely to gain real traction on farm and in the wider supply chain.
At farm level, the “systems” approach encourages an understanding of the inter-dependence of plants, crops, insects, livestock, microbes, soils, people and the wider environment. From companion cropping to on-farm diversification to the delivery of ecosystem services alongside food production – schemes and approaches, technologies and practices must find ways to co-exist as never before.
Previous REAP Conferences have explored the concept of “One Agriculture,” scale and time in agri-tech, and the tension between bespoke management and a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
This year we’re building on what we have learned as an agri-tech ecosystem.
Connections remain essential, but it’s co-development and co-creation, shaped by industry requirements and mission-led innovation, that will drive the meaningful, scalable change needed to really make a difference on farm and in the supply chain.
We’ve also listened to your feedback (spoiler alert – delegates liked a lot of it!). Which is why REAP 2025 will see us in a new venue, with a bigger technology exhibition, and fresh features to reflect the bold, data-driven, tech-empowered, purpose-led direction of our industry.
Join us at REAP 2025.
