Science and technology take centre stage at 2025 National Fieldays
Showcasing the huge range of new technologies and science that is now available was one of the highlights at last week's National Fieldays.
Sixty-three applicants have been invited to showcase automation, robotics, and AI innovations, alongside practical on-farm efficiency-increasing devices and 'problem-solvers' at the event.
"What stands out is the breadth of areas the entries come from, with ground-breaking ideas that redefine sustainability, automation, and efficiency," says Fieldays programme manager Steve Chappell.
"These include eco-friendly materials that transform waste into valuable resources to AI-powered tools optimising livestock management alongside precision monitoring, and crop growth."
A range of entrants see 33 in the Prototype category, 32 in the Early-Stage sector, and eight in the Growth & Scale competition.
Five participants of 19 years old or younger are also in the running for the Young Innovator of the Year award.
