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.

Increasing production efficiency

Agri-TechE

Lane Farm Country Foods, based in Brundish near Woodbridge in Suffolk has gained funding from the Eastern Agri-TechE Growth Initiative.

Lane Farm Country Foods will upgrade their existing production operation to bring it under one roof, increasing efficiency and enabling them to expand production. The development would also provide greater flexibility of production allowing the team to develop and expand new lines more quickly in the future.

Ian Whitehead from Lane Farm Country Foods, said: “We are really thrilled to have been awarded this grant under the Agri-TechE programme. The money will kick start the next stage of our expansion plans creating new jobs as well as securing existing ones.

“We have always worked hard on the quality of our products and this grant will enable us to invest in new technology and infrastructure to help us maintain this together with the development of new lines.”
