Data has become the source of truth for performance, productivity and sustainability measures on-farm and throughout the food system. Supporting its connectivity, protection and efficient usability will be key to maximising its value for farmers, agri-tech vendors, and supply chain businesses.
The Hartpury Digital Innovation Farm will be a state-of-the-art complex, connecting both research, knowledge, and industry – an all-in, industry-led service for the advancement of agricultural technology, cyber security, and data management across Gloucestershire and the UK. Through new and established developments, the Digital Innovation Farm will drive digital sustainability and utilisation of the latest technology.
