Forecasting, monitoring and mitigating the impacts of weather on agriculture has always been at the heart of farming. This Pollinator will explore some of the state-of-the-art solutions to help farmer stay one step ahead of the weather, and as climate change brings ever more extreme weather events, how the supply chain can insure against and help mitigate risks.
“To provide more resilience against climate uncertainty everywhere as quickly as possible, we have started building a global inventory –with UK/Europe first – of land assets such as those just described and then mapping them at speed.” says Mark Hodgson, Chief Business Officer at Cervest. “We may be putting our livelihoods at risk unless we accurately and objectively understand how climate uncertainty effects the assets we rely on, and have a better way to manage them.”
How can you manage the risk created by weather? AI and data modelling are offering new ways to mitigate the impact: bespoke weather forecasting to optimise crop scheduling; a novel way to predict extreme events, and an insurance policy to protect against price volatility are to be discussed at an Agri-TechE event ‘Keeping a Sunny Outlook – De-risking Agriculture Through Weather-Tech’.
On 25 July 2019 Prodata Weather Systems recorded a high temperature of 39.5C near to Soham, Cambridgeshire.
Farming has always had to work alongside the elements, but just how far can technology go to help mitigate the risks of weather and make even better use of increasingly complex on-farm weather data?
