Key Challenges:
Issues facing the industry

Post-Brexit reinvention of payments to incentivise good behaviours and enable future farming countryside programmes. Ongoing scheme changes: from the old BFS to the Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme, which is now changing.

How to harness Artificial Intelligence effectively

Many projects struggle to move from PoC to production.

With legacy technology it’s hard to keep the lights on while maintaining compliance, implementing policy changes and maximising digital opportunities.
