Agri-EPI Centre

By 2025, it’s anticipated that the agricultural technology sector will be worth more than £136 billion globally. This includes over £129 billion in the Autonomous Farm Equipment Market and over £7 billion in the Precision Farming Market. Agri-EPI Centre intends to help drive that growth from the UK, supporting innovative ideas which will help farmers and business owners become more profitable and sustainable. The Agricultural Engineering Precision Innovation Centre (Agri-EPI Centre) is one of four Agri-Tech centres established by the UK government. Agri-EPI focuses on the delivery of research, development, demonstration and training on precision agriculture and engineering for the livestock, arable, horticulture and aquaculture sectors. The core partners in the Centre are Scotland's Rural Colleage (SRUC), Harpers Adams University, Cranfield University, Harbro Ltd, Ag Space Agriculture Ltd and Kingshay Farming. A further 120 companies are supporting the Centre, including large supermarkets, foods producers, farmers, processors and engineering and technology businesses.
