The opening event of the Dyson Farming Research Centre (DFRC) reinforced the increasingly powerful narrative that agriculture is unlikely to be transformed one research project, or one start-up company at a time.
Innovation “stacking and bundling” is needed, curated by people with the knowledge and oversight of the entire farming system.
Set on a dedicated area of land on the Nocton site in Lincolnshire, and managed by its own research team, the DFRC has been designed to accelerate agricultural innovation in a way that hasn’t been seen before in the UK — perhaps even across Europe.
