With The CropTec Show just around the corner, in partnership with UK Research and Innovation this special episode of Crop It Like It’s Hot delves into the world of agtech. From field robots to gene editing, our panel of experts tell arable reporter, Alice Dyer, how they see the future role of agtech in transforming food production. With the Government announcing its intention to be a science superpower by 2030, the agriculture sector is no exception, and there’s a wide range of funding available to advance agtech. We hear from some of the beneficiaries of the Transforming Food Production Challenge, and how they have developed solutions in the field to meet the current and future challenges farming faces, from labour shortages to meeting sustainability targets.
