This series is all about celebrating our farming champions, awarding the lowest variable Cost of Production seen across the YAGRO platform for Harvest 2024. Along with meeting with our award-winning farmers to discuss their operations, techniques and opinions, we also met a variety of guests to cast light on less explored corners of Agriculture - The greatest industry in the UK.
Best in Field is back for Season 3 with a new host and fresh conversations about the people and ideas shaping agriculture.
In this opening episode, Rupert welcomes Belinda Clarke, Director of Agri-TechE, to explore the innovations driving the sector forward. From AI and robotics to data integration and farmer collaboration, Belinda shares her perspective on what really matters in agri-tech, and what it takes to make innovation work on-farm.
She also dives into global lessons from the Netherlands to Singapore, the challenges of farmer adoption, and why the unglamorous work of data unification might just be the biggest game-changer of all.
Whether you’re a farmer, agronomist, or tech developer, this is the perfect place to start a new season of insights and inspiration.
