We’ve been keeping a secret… ;) #roboticshub

Thank you Claire Donkin and team for having us at your brilliant Peat Free Pathway event at Fountain Plants Ltd. The learnings from the discussions have been shared by Kate Brunswick and Laura Bouvet with the Agri-TechE team – clearly the transition to peat-free is neither rapid nor straightforward but your event got the industry talking together.

🚜 From fixed fee to future rights, discounted access to royalties, we had a talk by polymath plant scientist/ farmer / patent agent Andrew Tindall of HGF, who helped us navigate how farmers can be rewarded and incentivised for their input into collaborative projects and trial work such as through the ADOPT programme.

📣 Calling all innovators and farmers! Our next on-farm Demo Day will be on December 8th on the SALLE FARMS estate, focusing on AI and data interrogation. Come and bring your tech to tackle the challenges, as outlined by our host farmer Andrew Peal. Exhibition, pitching and sponsorship opportunities available.

🌱 🔬 🛜 Land use change, AI on-farm, food safety from field to fork, a farm walk, post-harvest innovations and more!
