With the Government setting out an ambitious plan for horticulture and putting robotics firmly on the agricultural agenda, the direction of travel is clear: technology has a growing role to play in the future of farming. At REAP 2026, we’ll explore that journey from every angle - science, technology, farming, supply chain and more.

The FOLOU project has launched its third online training course. The new course, “Technological Innovation in Food Loss Measurement and Management”, explores how innovative technologies can help measure, manage, and reduce food loss across the agri-food sector.

The course is aimed at stakeholders in the primary production sector, including producers, farm advisors, buyers, equipment manufacturers, and researchers. Through practical examples and self-guided learning materials, participants will discover technological solutions that can support more sustainable food production practices.

Participants will learn to:

  • Interpret the benefits and limitations of food loss technologies
  • Appraise agricultural technologies used to reduce food loss
  • Identify opportunities for applying technological solutions in different contexts

The course is free, fully online, and accessible through the Ubiqua platform. Learners who complete the training can also obtain a certificate badge. While the course builds on previous FOLOU training modules, no prior participation is required.
