Our work in agri-tech and agriculture

"Despite having responsibility across the business, I'm drawn to the work we do in agriculture because it’s so fundamental to the way we need to live our lives. Humans have to grow enough nutritious food to support the growing global population while maintaining a recognition that we have to do this in a sustainable way. Agri-tech has gone through several revolutions, and the current revolution focuses on precision and AI. Sagentia Innovation's role is to help clients navigate this significantly complex system and develop simple, usable, and sustainable solutions."

Let's meet to discuss agri-tech innovation

Trends in Agri-tech development:

We’ve seen much talk about future autonomous systems; although few such machines have made it beyond concept, there is progress in this direction. More machines incorporate intelligent systems, from auto-drive to precision delivery of plants, chemistry, tillage, and harvest at the right place and time. This trend will continue, but a fully autonomous fleet of machinery working in the field is still some years away. For crop protection, there are increasing regulatory restraints placed on North American and European farmers to reduce chemical use; the over-use of herbicides has led to herbicide-resistant weeds; climate change is enabling different pests to succeed, and the promise of future biological solutions has never quite delivered (to date). Aligning these diverse challenges requires sprayers, regulators, chemistry, and biological suppliers to work together to deliver sustainable solutions.
