It was great to see so many people for our first 'Agro-Ecology Connect' session last week! ☕🎉🚜 We welcomed over 40 Early Career Researchers to take part in an online morning of networking, inspiration, and coffee!

Share share share! Academics, researchers and practitioners all welcome at our new BES Agro-Ecology Connect online coffee mornings. Monthly, online, bring a cuppa and settle in for an hour of agriculture/ ecology knowledge sharing and networking. 🙌

Did you spot us feature in the latest Niche magazine?! As we say our goodbyes to Barbara Smith after being the SIG chair for 16 years, we enter a new era with Helen Hicks at the helm!
