“When you have all these layers in place, then you can really understand the potential of a field and how to maximise it without relying on what is happening in the field right now,”

The Royal Institute of Engineers (RIN) and Agri-TechE hosted a joint webinar to discuss the opportunities for GNSS technology developers in agriculture. Sophie Butler, content manager for Agri-TechE, reports.

Modern agriculture has become dependent on global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) for much of its operations, and as sensing technology, robotics and digital tools launch in the sector, the agriculture GNSS devices and services market is predicted to expand to around €23 billion by 2033. Agri-TechE, a not-for-profit agri-tech member organisation, hosted an online event to explore these opportunities.
