Agri Tech Meets... Space on 16 July
Space tech and AI are giving us a level of visibility and connectivity in farming that hasn’t existed before, making it possible to see every field, every crop, every risk in near real time. Our online event highlights where cross sector collaborations are emerging, what problems agriculture is actively trying to solve with space tech, and where there’s real pull for new products, research partnerships and investment.

Today at the Anglian Water seminar ‘Growing innovation from water, food and agriculture’ it was announced that Agri-TechE is to take the discussion further by establishing a Special Interest Group called ‘Water for Agriculture’.

Each of the SIG’s will have two co-chairs taken from industry and academia.

We are delighted that Andy Brown, Head of Sustainability at Anglian Water, and Prof Kevin Hiscock, Professor of Environmental Sciences at UEA (University of East Anglia), have agreed to take these positions for the Water for Agriculture SIG.

Belinda Clarke says: “Today’s event, which is the last in a series of workshops hosted by Anglian Water, has demonstrated that there is a lively interest in this area and Agri-TechE is delighted to help build partnerships through our first SIG”.

More information about the SIG will be available shortly but if you would like to express your interest in the SIG do let us know.
