Our expertise
The Agri-Tech Research Centre has a wide expertise in agricultural technology, engineering and agri-tech economics ranging from swarm robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, telemetrics, electronic identification and artificial intelligence to precision spraying, sustainable soil management (Controlled Traffic Farming, Low Tyre/Track Pressure Systems, reduced tillage strategies), soil engineering (soil-tyre-tine interactions) and advanced agronomy (eg. intercropping). Through the Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics (GIATE) the group is linked to a worldwide network of agri-tech economics researchers.
