Introduction to Agri-Tech, 20th May at Agrii's Technology Centre
Would you/your colleagues benefit from understanding more about agriculture and horticulture in the UK? Including relevant policy/regs (and where the money comes from), decision-making by farmers (who calls the shots!), and what happens after the farm?

Wilder Sensing has been featured on the Farmer’s Weekly Podcast in an episode titled ‘How Turbo-Charged Bird Counts Benefit Farmers’.

The conversation centres on how acoustic monitoring technology can provide farmers with continuous, automated data on bird populations, a well-established indicator of wider ecosystem health. Unlike traditional survey methods, which are labour-intensive and carried out infrequently, bioacoustic sensors capture real-time data at scale, giving land managers a far more detailed picture of the wildlife on their land.

A key theme of the episode is the role this technology can play in measuring ecological outcomes across different farming systems. As interest in regenerative agriculture grows, one of the sector’s persistent challenges has been the ability to quantify its impact. Wilder Sensing’s approach offers a practical, evidence-based way to compare outcomes between conventional and regenerative practices, providing the kind of data that can inform land management decisions, support farm assurance schemes, and underpin environmental impact reporting.
