DEFRA in partnership with Innovate UK has unveiled a £50 million agri-tech investment package to accelerate the roll out of cutting-edge technologies onto farms.
The initiative will fast-track up to 12 breakthrough technologies, helping to bridge the long-standing gap between innovation and on-farm adoption.
The programme is designed to deliver practical tools that enable farmers to produce more food while cutting labour requirements, energy consumption and reliance on fertilisers. Technologies being supported span robotics, artificial intelligence and nature-based solutions, signalling a strong push towards smarter, more sustainable farming systems.
