Agri-TechE is a networking organisation, bringing people together from different areas of farming, industry and science to turn challenges into business opportunities and facilitate mutually beneficial collaboration.
“We have some big challenges facing us, such as extreme weather, need for harvesting automation, concerns about resistance to pesticides, and water shortages. We didn’t want to reinvent the wheel so we decided to find out what agri-tech is out there and to start a conversation. With Agri-TechE, we saw the potential to create a viable relationship that would accelerate the development of solutions, and ultimately, solve the issues our growers are facing.”
