ATW 2025: Climate Adaptation in Agronomy with Satellite Technology
Pixalytics LtdAgri-TechE Week 2025 celebrates its 12th year! Our largest yet, featuring 11 events curated by Agri-TechE and hosted by our incredible member community, followed by the REAP Conference on 4th November. This week exemplifies innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking in agri-tech.
Each event reflects the strength of our ecosystem, showcasing what our community can achieve and bringing together our growers, researchers, and technology developers. A big thank you to our members for hosting – we wouldn’t have an agri-tech week without you and we are very proud to have your membership.
The session began with Pixalytics’ Managing Director, Dr Samantha Lavender, explaining the Space4Climate Market Breakthrough project we’re involved in that aims to understand the use of space-based technology by stakeholders delivering ‘the last mile’ of innovation to farms, including advisors, agronomists, farm management platforms, and machinery providers. Sam talked about what we had discovered in our conversations and interviews this summer, including the results of a survey we have been running – it is still available if you would like to add your thoughts.
- Ben Hockridge from ADAS discussed a real-world example of using satellite imagery in agriculture, highlighting the PeaSat project.
- Eric Hewitson from Lacuna Space discussed the role of Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors and how Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide essential, low-data connectivity for low-power, remote sensors such as temperature, soil moisture, and livestock tracking on farms.
- Dr Dannielle Robb from Ceres Research was the final presenter and spoke about data management on farms. She began by highlighting that farmers have access to a huge amount of data, and the critical elements are storing, integrating, and turning that data into useful information to support decision-making in their businesses.
