About the event

The AgriTech Solutions event is a practical, hands-on mini-expo designed to show farmers and farm managers how agricultural technology can be used in simple, realistic ways to farm smarter. The focus is not on complex systems or industry buzzwords, but on tools that reduce administration, improve visibility, and support better decision-making on the farm.

As technology becomes increasingly accessible in rural areas, the event explores how turning field data into actionable insights can help producers save time, manage resources more efficiently, and boost productivity.

Through real-world demonstrations and conversations, AgriTech Solutions highlights how technology can free up time for productive work and make everyday farming operations easier and more effective.

What to expect at the mini-expo

Participants will see how technology can add real value on the farm through the following talks and demonstrations:

• Adagin Technologies will demonstrate what precision farming looks like in practice – from harvesting and packing to productivity management.
• WorkLight will focus on technology that simplifies administration and frees up more time for productive work.
