Professor Simon Pearson FIAgrE, Founder and Director of Lincoln Institute of Agri-Food Technology will explore the evolution of the next generation of Agricultural Engineering in his talk “From Robots to Returns: Engineering the Next Generation of UK Agri-Tech”.
Simon has almost two decades of experience in management and research and development roles across the agri-food system, including eight years with Marks and Spencer and seven years as CEO of a UK farming company.
"My experience in agri-food helped me to develop two start-up companies at Lincoln, called FRUITCAST and Agaricus Mushroom," says Simon. "We also host the UK’s first Barclays Eagle Lab and Farm at our Riseholme Campus, which houses state-of-the-art facilities to help businesses innovate and grow."
