It thus offers superb networking and contact opportunities to the key decision-makers in every sector of the industry.
Come along to stand A-09 in hall 8.2 to meet our experts...
The Fera team will be on hand at this year's event to share our expertise in supporting the sustainable growth of fresh produce supply chains to improve marketable yield and protecting your brands, whilst reducing input and minimising impact.
See how we can help you...
Shelf Life & Stability Testing
Our experts can develop and carry out a standard microbiological testing method to assess the bacterial content of food and beverage products as well as feed products to determine their use by date as well as associated hygiene or product practices.
Contaminant Testing
Our experts focus on the scientific research relating to intentionally added food components and to those arising from chemical changes during food processing, bioactive chemicals and natural toxicants.
Plant Diagnostics
Our diagnosticians are globally recognised for their expertise in diagnosing plant diseases and identification of plant pests. Our approach is to use the most appropriate method for diagnosing each sample ranging from traditional techniques, such as microscopy through to cutting edge molecular diagnostics.
Soil Health Unit
Fera has established the Soil Health Unit to improve understanding of soil management and its effects on crop health and threat control. Our work involves investigating the interactions between soil condition, crops, water and biotic stress – and the environmental factors that influence them.
Pesticide Residue Testing
Fera has a long history of providing comprehensive surveillance/monitoring services involving the use of multi-residue methods and single/selective methods for pesticides that are not amenable to multi-residue analysis for Pesticide Residues.
Bespoke Training
As new risks and threats to our food emerge daily, it’s essential that you stay up to date with the latest food testing and analytical techniques – to ensure the foods you produce, import or sell are safe, authentic and comply with the latest regulations.
Insect Monitoring Services
Our insect monitoring capabilities provide the information to assess virus transmission risk helping growers to target insecticide applications more accurately to reduce costs and waste, optimise resources and improve yields.
Remote Sensing and Mapping
Our Remote Sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) scientists can use cutting-edge UAV and sensor technology to supply all the imagery and analysis you need.

Biology Week Policy Lates
- 16 Sept 2019
Join Policy Lates free event on Monday 7th October to discuss insect decline
This Biology Week event is part of the Policy Lates series, which provides an opportunity for relaxed discussion with an interested and informed audience. They will consider what we know about insect declines and what we don’t know, to better understand the causes and consequences of insect population changes.
Dr Larissa Collins, Entomologist at Fera Science, will be be joining the panel to share her expertise. Larissa has worked across a broad variety of entomological topics. She manages a team of 14 entomologists delivering insect identification and advice to Defra on Plant Health; monitoring for agricultural and horticultural insect pests for several commercial customers; monitoring for mites in feed and food premises; research into mite biology to improve monitoring and control; and research on the development of novel insect control methods.
