Show Notes

From farm to fork, our fresh produce heroes are everywhere-  and this episode is for them!

We talk to Nigel Jenney, the Chief Exec of the UK's Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC) and to innovative greengrocer and TV presenter, Chris Bavin, about the importance of recognising and supporting the global fresh produce industry.

Nigel and Chris talk about the many challenges of the past two years of explain how the much loved FPC Fresh Awards is a chance for the industry to come together and celebrate their resilience and achievements.  Now, more than ever, it's important to recognise all those heroes of the fresh produce industry and to show them our appreciation.  To find out more about entering and attending the Fresh Awards, click here.

It's exciting to learn that technology in the fresh produce industry is being embraced and adopted as we move towards a new agricultural revolution.  The FPC recognise this and have created two new events specifically designed to captivate and assist this sector:

FPC Future, with its eight conference sessions on all aspects of agritech, offers visitors practical advice on how to use the latest technologies coming into the market while FPC Careers showcases the fresh produce and plant industries to the best, newest talent who are looking at their future careers.

The FPC have also launched a unique new platform specifically for the agritech sector, Agritech  Future, where subscribers can access the latest news stories, along with valuable resources, such as Whitepapers and eBooks on all aspects of agritech.

Many thanks Nigel and Chris and we hope to have you back again soon!
