East of England Showground, Peterborough - 16 November 2011
The Foresight Report made 'Sustainable Intensification' the BIG Issue for the whole of the food chain to address. However, behind the headline from Professor Sir John Beddington's report lie a whole range of issues that include politics, economics, regulation and much more besides. Agribusiness 2012 focuses on issues that matter as the agricultural supply industry comes to terms with fresh challenges. The line-up of top class speakers is guaranteed to add value to delegates as they come to terms with the BIG Issue facing their own business and how to manage it in the year ahead.
