Welcome to Let’s Talk Agri-Tech: Innovations in Agriculture, a podcast from the UK Agri-Tech Centre.
Join us as we delve into the dynamic world of agri-tech, innovations and sustainable agriculture, exploring the latest insights and breakthroughs from industry pioneers, researchers and innovators.
Our conversations aim to bridge the gap between cutting-edge agricultural technology creators and beneficiaries, fostering relationships among researchers, startups, investors, and farmers.
Together, we’ll uncover the potential of technology in driving sustainable and productive farming practices, transforming the way we approach food production for a better future.
Leprino x UK Agri-Tech Centre series
Episode one
What is driving the sustainability agenda? Is it the consumer or is it something else?
Highlighting the rapid need for change and the consequences of inaction, this episode talks about the roles consumers may play in the future and why we are seeing the targets and goals on climate set by the businesses facing the consumer.
Episode two
Somebody had a bright idea, but was it a good one, can it be delivered and is soy really the ‘best feed’?
This episode discusses the art of the possible, the bold steps that are being taken on farm, and who you should talk to about what if you are under pressure to re-evaluate what you are feeding your livestock.
Episode three
There’s more to feeding cattle than meets the eye. Is it all as simple as we make out?
From discussions on synthetic amino acids to magic beans and methane inhibitors, this episode unpack the ups and downs of seeking feeding perfection from farmers and those at the coal face of getting the best yield with the inputs available.
Episode four
Everyone says you should be more efficient, but very few have told you how to make that happen.
This episode discusses a pilot programme that has helped 10 farms see a £1 million reduction in their collective cost of production in just 12 months. Importantly we hear from one of the farmers as to why they embarked on such a programme.
Episode five
Does regenerative agriculture mean a step back in time or can we adopt more recent innovation?
In this episode, hear from famers that have utilised products and seen some interesting results whilst building their soils ability to yield great grass and sequester more carbon.
Episode six
After many high hopes, we need to answer these questions: What is likely to get in the way? From our farmer’s perspective, what are the barriers to change?
Think of this episode as a call to action for the supply chain – join us to find the solutions. Together we can change the world!
