Precision agriculture technology is being adopted by food companies who want to know more about their supply chains.

Validating sustainable practices at the farm level is essential for passing economic incentives on to farmers.

Do farmers have a taste for tech? In this episode, Matt is joined by Will Wells (Founder of Hummingbird Technologies) and Marina Martin Curran (Sustainability Manager at Vivent) to discuss the role of new technologies in agriculture, and how these innovations are being adopted by farmers.

Sustainability has, frankly, been mostly a marketing phrase for well over a decade. But that's changing amid increasing demands from consumers and governments to “be sustainable.” Companies are pushing their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) standards onto their producers. Meaning, farmers will be held to certain production practices to be allowed to sell their products. That's where Hummingbird Technologies comes in — they're the verification arm for large Ag companies and they use artificial intelligence to do it. Listen to founder Will Wells explain where Ag is and where it's going in relation to sustainability. Sponsored by LandTrust landtrust.com

Hannah MacInnes joins Will Wells, the founder of Hummingbird Technologies, on The Klosters Forum Feed & Flourish Podcast series, to discuss the topic of biodiversity and ways in which we can transform our food systems in order to positively preserve our planet. 

Will is the founder and CEO of Hummingbird Technologies. The vision for which came to him on a hospital bed during a two-year fight with cancer. Happily recovered, Will is now realising that vision, using the most advanced machine learning and computer vision techniques to deliver actionable insights on crop health. The company, which is backed by investors including James Dyson and Horizons Ventures, has won numerous awards including the CogX Best AI AgTech Product and the 2019 KPMG Best British Startup. Will gives us an inspiring account of how he and the team are optimising sustainable farming practices and transforming the agriculture industry.

Reports of illegal drone flights caused travel mayhem at Gatwick airport days before Christmas 2018 - sparking a clampdown against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).This episode of Inside Farming examines how new restrictions will affect farmers, agronomists and the UK agri-tech sector – who all use drones legitimately.Includes a visit to a farm next door to Heathrow airport and interview with a former military pilot who was praised for avoiding a collision between a drone and RAF fighter jet.Featuring: Berkshire farmer Colin Rayner, Jeff Goulding of Hummingbird Technologies, independent consultant Keith Norman, agronomist Martyn Cox of Blackthorn Arable and Russ Delaney of uVue Drones.

In this episode we examine how technology will disrupt the way our food is grown, reared, processed, sold and delivered. With a rapidly growing population, can tech offer us the answer to feed future generations? How close are we to being able to grow meat in the lab that tastes indistinguishable from the real thing? Prof Dr Mark Post from Mosameat gives his predictions for this evolving procedure. Harry and the team begin with a fascinating insight into how Ocado are using robotics and machine learning to revolutionise the supply chain for our groceries, from the company's CTO Paul Clarke. We also hear from Will Wells, CEO of Hummingbird Technologies, about the new ways drones are being used to monitor crop health from the skies. Context in this episode is provided by Charles Godfray from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food.  

In this episode Anna Henley explains how Hummingbird Technologies is using the combination of drones and an artificial intelligence farming platform they built, to optimize farming in almost every aspect when it comes to anything in the fields.

For 80 years, the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan has remained a mystery. But an ongoing analysis of recently found aircraft wreckage by a specialty lab team from Parker Hannifin Corporation may finally prove where she and her co-pilot disappeared. The investigation highlights one of many ways that Parker Hannifin solves the world’s greatest engineering challenges. In episode Twenty-One of the Chasing Earhart podcast, we sit down with Jon Jeffery; Formally of Parker Aerospace and current CEO of Hummingbird Technologies to discuss Amelia Research, Inc. and the vital role he played in convincing Parker Aerospace to sponsor one of the most iconic Amelia Earhart research trips of all time.
