Linking economics and science to analyse the role of innovative agricultural technologies in achieving global economic, environmental and social objectives.
Sustainable intensification, food security, climate change and the adoption of innovation and best practice are key global agendas discussed widely in public and private forums. The use of new technologies such as swarm robotics, drones, autonomous vehicles, telemetrics, electronic identification, artificial intelligence and blockchains as a means of tackling these issues is rapidly growing. Alongside this is a growing need to provide economic analysis of such technologies. Agri-Tech Economics is an emerging field of research focused on providing economic intelligence to define the role of agricultural technologies in future farming systems, value chains and trade.
The Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics is a worldwide network of leading multidisciplinary researchers and stakeholders which brings together experts working on the application, adaptation and adoption of innovative agricultural technology. The Institute is committed to developing and implementing:
The research themes of the Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics include:
The Global Institute for Agri-Tech Economics is partially supported by the Elizabeth Creak Charitable Trust and is closely aligned with the National Centre for Precision Farming at Harper Adams University. The institute welcomes contact from potential collaborators and prospective PhD students.
