NERC, BBSRC and ESRC are hosting a workshop to launch the 2015 call for applications to the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Innovation Club (SARIC).

The second SARIC call will focus on the theme 'predictive capabilities for sustainable agriculture'. The call aims to provide decision makers with the ability to forecast, interpret and respond to potential threats to UK crop and livestock production systems. This will be achieved by harnessing the potential of observational technologies (e.g. earth observation, mapping, sensors) and analysis technologies (e.g. modelling, big data and analytics), and by combining observations with models to improve predictive capability for sustainable agriculture in the UK at a range of scales. Around £5m is available in this call. For the full Announcement of Opportunity, go to the BBSRC website.

Workshop programme

10:00 – Welcome and introduction

10:10 – Scope of the call and key challenges from an industrial perspective

12:00 – Elevator pitches from academia and industry

13:00 – Lunch

13:30 – Surgery sessions and networking

16:00 – Close
