We will also explore possibilities of developing a regional grain alliance or other future collaborations.
- Introductions – please be prepared to share a 1 minute introduction to your work, ethos or interests in relation to grain
- Exploring the future possibilities for wheat / bread in Lincolnshire
- Walking tour of research at LIAT
