Cereals 2014 Agri-Tech East seminar: Innovation for agriculture

  • June 6, 2014
  • 11:11 am

With sharply rising cereal prices and concerns about food security, agri-tech is becoming a growth area for innovation with many new technologies emerging in the sector. This is the focus of a technical seminar that Agri-Tech East is hosting at 10.00am on Thursday 12th June

Agri-Tech East is a new business focused cluster organisation that is bringing together farmers and growers with researchers and technologists, entrepreneurs and investors.

The East of England is in a prime position to be a world-leading cluster in agri-tech; not only is the region renowned for agricultural best-practice but also for knowledge of plant breeding, DNA sequencing, information management and advanced engineering.

The seminar will look at emerging technologies including new tools for breeders, on farm decision-making tools and remote monitoring by unmanned systems. For example: the global market for unmanned systems (in which the East of England is a leader) is estimated will be worth $30bn over the next decade with applications in precision farming, monitoring and land use inspection.

Additionally, on the Thursday Norwich company Hexcam will be showing its hexicopter on the Agri-Tech East stand and will  fly it over the trials site. Demonstrating how farmers will do their inspections in future. Elliott Corke of Hexcam welcomes Agri-Tech East as it will provide an opportunity for him to meet farmers, breeders and researchers and understand better their needs so he can create a new service to support them.
