The Agri Living Lab is a real-world testing environment that supports organisations to innovate, co-create, demonstrate, and deliver solutions that address global agri-food challenges. By combining space and agricultural expertise with pioneering connectivity and sensor technologies, user-centric design, and business support, the Agri Living Lab brings together agri-food stakeholders (the problem owners) and technology providers (problem solvers) to create sector-wide solutions.

 

The Satellite Applications Catapult and Harper Adams University formed the first Agri Living Labs at Westcott Space Cluster in Buckinghamshire and Harper Adams in Shropshire.

Data

Agriculture now generates vast amounts of data of different types and at different scales. The ownership, access, control, sharing, value, permissioning, intergration, security, safeguarding and sovereignty of this data represent multiple challenges and opportunities for the sector.

Digital agriculture

A range of digital technologies promise to transform agriculture, including sensing, robotics, artificial intelligence, wireless networks & IoT, big data, decision support tools, modelling, digital twins and precision farming. 

Harper Adams University

As the population grows, so do our demands on the planet. Managing this resource has never been so important. Since it was founded in 1901, Harper has been designed to meet this challenge. Set on a 494 hectare farm, we are the leading specialist university tackling the future development of our planet's food production, processing, animal sciences, engineering, land management and sustainable business.

Remote Sensing

Many technologies now exist to monitor land at a range from scales, from hand-held sensors and simple cameras, through tractor mounted sensors, drones, aeroplanes through to satellites.
