Britain’s food system is under pressure. Labour shortages, climate shocks, and global instability are leaving farms struggling to keep up. At the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT), Professor Simon Pearson leads a revolution in automation, robotics, and AI that’s reshaping how we grow, harvest, and sustain the food we eat. From the ARWAC harvester to Saga Robotics’ Thorvald platform and the HiRes-Soils Project, this episode reveals how cutting-edge research in Lincolnshire is redefining what it means to farm in the 21st century.
When labour shortages, rising costs, and climate change collide can technology step in to save the world’s oldest industry?
Join Professor Simon Pearson, Head of the Lincoln Institute for Agri-Food Technology (LIAT), as he takes us inside the UK’s most advanced agri-tech research hub. Discover how robotics, AI, and automation are transforming the way we grow and harvest; from the autonomous ARWAC field machine and the data-driven HiRes-Soils Project to Saga Robotics’ Thorvald and the next generation of harvest-assist robots.
Learn how LIAT is tackling food security, sustainability, and the climate crisis and how collaboration with farmers, researchers, and innovators is creating a smarter, more resilient food system.
Whether you’re a farmer, engineer, student, or investor, this is your invitation to explore how robotics and AI are reshaping agriculture, right here in Lincolnshire.
