The Farm Business Innovation Show brings together top industry experts to provide the guidance, education and opportunities needed to help farmers and rural business owners diversify and increase their income. Now in its sixth year, the Farm Business Innovation Show has established itself in the calendar as the event for innovative and diversifying farmers, landowners and rural entrepreneurs.
Arwyn Davies, Business Development Manager at Food Centre Wales said, “We’re proud of our team of internationally recognised food industry experts, available to help you find your way through a complex range of food disciplines and regulation, covering nutrition and dietetics, environmental health, new product development, factory and workplace design, quality assurance, hygiene, food safety, marketing and efficiency.
“Whatever your interest in the food and drink industry - whether you supply it or make it, run a food company, work in a big multinational, or are taking your first tentative steps to set up a food micro business - we want to help.”
The food and drink industry is the UK’s largest manufacturing sector, contributing £28.8bn to the economy each year.
Angela Sawyer, Senior Food Technologist at Food Centre Wales will also be speaking at the Show. She will lead a seminar on ‘farm diversification into food processing – exploring opportunities and avoiding pitfalls’.
