Arable Scotland is Scotland’s premier field event in the arable sector, showcasing the latest research and farming innovations to farmers and arable sector stakeholders. Over the past three years, since returning to field events after the COVID19 pandemic, Arable Scotland has been developed and evolved to attract a wider and larger audience.

A successful event in 2024 has inspired the Arable Scotland team to test new ideas for the 2025 event, with a theme of ‘Building resilience through collaboration’. Keep an eye out for more information being shared.

Blog by David Webster, LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming)

In the last 30 years, there has been a massive shift in understanding the links between farming and the environment. It has also become abundantly clear over this period that there are significant challenges, which not only have a consequence in terms of environmental decline, but which are now placing a direct threat over farming systems and the commercial operation of farming businesses.

Blog by Alison Karley, The James Hutton Institute, Dundee, UK Staying on top of the latest farming innovations is a tough task – the farming calendar is busy enough without trying to find time to check the latest updates on your social media feeds, read the farming journal that just slapped onto your doormat, take part in any number of online webinars and seminars, or extract useful snippets from ad hoc conversations with neighbours and colleagues. Where to start? Well, you could try coming along to Balruddery Farm on Tuesday 2nd July, where we have done the work for you – bringing together the latest research and industry developments for you to see, test hands-on, and discuss the pros and cons with professionals and colleagues across the sector.
