Where is disruptive technology coming from?

Technology that ‘eats your lunch’ doesn’t suddenly appear from nowhere; although it can be an inspirational idea it has often taken decades to get to market.

A good way to check what is on the horizon is to keep abreast of the research that is coming out of the labs.  The Agri-TechE Research Digest provides a snap-shot for you of research that is being done to deliver outcomes.

For example featured research includes:

• Automated bailer for use in controlled farming
• Use of aerial imaging to predict crop yield in iceberg lettuce
• BlightSense – a rapid biosensor system for in-field early detection of potato blight
• Improving water uptake in sugar beet.
