The Fieldays Innovation Awards competition has attracted a diverse and impressive array of innovations from across the primary industries, highlighting the growing importance of technology shaping the future of farming.

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.
