Robotics Software Engineer | farmB Labs
Interested in collaboration in terms of Farm Management Information System innovation that enables farmers to monitor, report and verify carbon emissions, work towards net zero and improve the soil health of their farms, in addition to tackling the problem of data fragmentation within the agri industry. FarmB Labs have a strong research and development focus and are also interested in the integration of robotic and IoT devices within our Farm Management Information System platform, indeed we are currently working on an InnovateUK project looking into high resolution robotic sensing of soil carbon and nitrogen. We'd be interested to connect with other innovation-led companies, or end-users with specific challenges or problems to overcome.
I am a robotics software engineer and have been working with farmB Labs for almost a year. I have a background in agri-tech having completed a PhD in this area at the University of Lincoln. I have a passion for working to develop innovative solutions for farmers that have a tangible result in terms of soil health and farm productivity.

CEO | Twocan
How we can connect more people across our industries
I’m the founder of Twocan, an initiative created to connect and empower people across the entire food, farming, and horticultural ecosystem. Growing up on a diverse farm in Yorkshire sparked my passion for agriculture and showed me the value of collaboration. After working in farm advisory and commercial roles, I founded Twocan to create a community where mentoring, leadership, and personal growth come together to help individuals and businesses thrive. Twocan was inspired by my 2022 Nuffield Farming Scholarship, and today I’m passionate about helping people build meaningful connections and drive positive change across the industry.

Research Fellow | Countryside and Community Research Institute
Developing a farm- and food-level GHG accounting framework for UK land use, and exploring how GHG accounting tools can foster a net zero–literate farmer and adviser community.
Ffion Evans is a Research Fellow at the Countryside and Community Research Institute (CCRI), working on the Land Use for Net Zero (LUNZ) Footprint project. She recently completed a PhD within the international CircAgric-GHG project, examining how increasing circularity affects nutrient management, GHG mitigation, and profitability across English and Welsh farm types, and exploring barriers and opportunities for adoption. Her research focuses on the complexities of farmer learning and decision-making, and how these processes can be better supported.
