In the current climate, all farmers and growers are looking at how they can cut down on unnecessary costs and wastes on farm or in the market garden - through more innovative and lean approaches.

In this Bootcamp, we'll discuss lean thinking and look at some practical examples of farmers and growers who have implemented technology that's helping them be more efficient.

Our line up includes Jana Hocken, who has helped hundreds of companies across the globe apply lean thinking to their operations, and more recently applied those principles to farming. Other speakers to be announced.

Along with hearing from our speakers (and spending time asking them the hard questions) we'll spend time after dinner drilling down into the problem - understanding for farmers and growers what’s so important to you when it comes to maximising efficiencies, and what you want to see change. We'll be using this information to inform future innovation projects the Rural Innovation Lab engages in. We'll also give you a brief update on what we've been up to the past six months, and what we have planned.

Arrival, drinks and nibbles from 5.00pm, for a 5.30pm kick off. Dinner and sweet treats provided. So, join us for an evening of thought provoking discussion, workshopping, and a beer and a chat with your fellow farmers and growers!
