“Never seen such a great collection of technology in one place” - the Minister from Defra @Mark_Spencer visited the Innovation Hub at @norfolkshow

A fabulous day in Cambridge yesterday with our friends from Missouri! With 10 pitchers providing a whistle-stop tour of UK research, spinouts and technologies, followed by 1-to-1s for deeper discussions, we hear our attendees have a lot of follow-up emails on their to do-list🤝🙌

Anyone got any top tips for dissuading deer from eating tulips?

Tour time here as the sun sets on #agritechweek22 - checking out the plant science and robotic research here at Essex in person!

.@Vishwanathan_M talking success, failure and learning from their robotics projects - strawberry identification, mushroom gripping and sandwich making all being worked on @uni_essex_csee #agritechweek22

Andrey, farm manager at @tiptree walks us through their projects with @ResearchEssex including prediction of disease and reducing labour costs and challenges #agritechweek22

Paul Laniran @innovateuk explains funding options for farmer-led innovation via Farming Innovation Programme - options for solving today's problems and tomorrow's! #agritechweek2022

Robert Crook @innovateuk setting the scene with funding overview, some of which used by the collaborative projects here at @EssexLifeSci. Lots of areas of focus in agritech for Innovate UK #agritechweek22

And now we're onto the final #agritechweek22 event hosted by @UoE_Business - talking all things robotics. We've got coffee, we've got people and we've got robots - let's go!

Really enjoyed the @ADASGroup #agritechweek22 event yesterday covering all angles of ways to improve the food supply chain and reduce waste in the process. Full report to follow shortly - not one to be missed! Lots of opportunities for technology and research in post harvest

Had a great time this morning with members @Eagle_Labs_Farm @LIATLincoln discovering all the work taking place in robotics, data and in the field among other things! So much going on its been a fascinating morning

Very busy at the @dronesforag stand today at #cereals2022 - with an excellent autonomous flying demo twice today in the arena too! @Agri_Tech_E

.@cropangel1 are here at Cereals - we caught the awesome demo this morning in the spray arena and here to see the kit up close this afternoon! #cereals2022

Packed schedule here in the Netherlands so I'm a bit behind - but today we're out on farm in glorious weather. This morning is all about #potatoes @Agrico_UK #northseaneighbourghs #agritech

Excellent day today delving into the policy mechanisms, funding, indoor and glasshouses tech, and finally cutting edge robotics and system optimisation techniques here in the Netherlands #agritech A glasshouse in a glasshouse to simulate different external environments!

Beautiful evening to welcome the #agritech delegation to The Hague last night - how incredible is this giant underground bicycle park at the train station?? The agritech starts today but already something we could replicate in the UK

@ScientistErica @Agri_Tech_E Such a pleasure to work with you Erica!! Thanks for all your help this year, we couldn't have done it without you :)

Finished my time with @Agri_Tech_E thank you so so much for having me 🥰 Such a great team to be a part of- I have learnt so much during my time with you, and enjoyed it so much!

@jsedgwick67 👍Hi John hope you are well. We are hoping to make new tape from it quality permitting. We need to talk to our customer and in turn their customers to get the stuff back into the industry. In these days of grant funding etc it would be good to know where we can get some help ??

From Field to Plate !! Our 1st Recycled Tape is back to Polymer ??#potato #onion #sustainable #circulareconomy #environnement Drainage pipes 🤷‍♂️ Supermarket trays🤷‍♂️ How can we get this back into Agriculture ?? #water #irrigation #Dripirrigation
