In this week's episode we explore the role of agri-tech in improving productivity and sustainability, the opportunities for the future, and advice for CLA members looking to implement the use of technology within their rural business. 

Claire Hodge, Head of Crops at the Agri Epi Centre, shares with us how new technology is trialled and tested, and how we need pioneers to push the industry forward. 

Jake Freestone, Farm Manager at Overbury Enterprises, explains the benefits of agri-tech in working towards net zero and the change in productivity he has seen since adopting these technologies on his farm. 

We are also joined by Adam Slate, Orchard Innovation Manager from Bardsley England, who tells us about his experience as an Agri Epi Satellite Farmer and the importance of collaboration across the industry
