Research problems linked to this topic
- How can we use digital innovation and precision farming techniques to measure animal health and welfare outcomes for livestock, and to provide early warning of livestock disease and health threats?
- New Technologies: How are new technologies and work practices being adopted by those using chemicals (e.g. next generation crop protection, variable rate application, genetic modification and biological pesticides etc) and which emerging innovations are considered most viable (e.g. digital agriculture, field monitoring, robotics, etc) and likely to become mainstream and transformative? How can we ensure appropriate regulation ensuring chemicals are used safely whilst promoting the adoption of technologies with the potential to improve the sustainability of chemical use?
- Advanced electronics: How will sensors, omics, geographical information systems, internet of things, be used to support regulation and enforcement needs across the agri-envrionmental and food sectors?
- How can we develop and exploit new methodologies to ensure cost-effective monitoring (for example remote sensing and environmental DNA)?
