Now, as we begin to see light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, expectations remain for these technological shifts to persist. Here are the most important agtech trends to watch in 2022 and beyond.
Recent Innovations in Farm Equipment Allow for Increased Versatility: 11 Examples
Recent innovations in farm equipment allow for increased versatility on the farm. Here are 11 examples of the innovations that have helped change the course of farming and enable farmers to get their work done with fewer implementations and greater efficiency.
To Boldly Grow: Innovations With Promise for Sustainable Agriculture
To boldly grow, the world needs to implement these new innovations with the ultimate goal of cleaner, greener agriculture.
Future Meat Technologies Launches World's First Industrial Cultured Meat Production Facility
With the capability to produce 500 kilograms of cultured products a day, equivalent to 5,000 hamburgers, this facility makes scalable cell-based meat production a reality.
Silicon Valley-based FarmWise Collaborates With Roush To Manufacture Autonomous Robots In Michigan
As growers are looking for new ways to optimize crop production, San Francisco-based FarmWise leverages the latest advances in artificial intelligence and robotics to offer plant-level farming as-a-service.
Could Nanofarms Really Transform Agriculture?
Big indoor farms are attracting big investments. But transforming agriculture might depend on putting nanofarms everywhere-maybe even in your home.
NEW FACIAL RECOGNITION FEATURE LAUNCHED BY CONSUS FRESH
Consus has developed an intelligent software-based system that reduces the burden of audits and improves productivity. By linking HR records to labour deployment the facial recognition module enables accurate costing of all products and improved traceability.
Introducing the lettuce peeling robot
Cambridge researchers have developed what is believed to be the first robotic lettuce leaf peeling system of its kind.
Robots fight weeds in challenge to agrochemical giants
In a field of sugar beet in Switzerland, a solar-powered robot that looks like a table on wheels scans the rows of crops with its camera, identifies weeds and zaps them with jets of blue liquid from its mechanical tentacles.
The Promise of Indoor, Hurricane-Proof 'Vertical' Farms
Meagan Flynn for The Atlantic: They might be an efficient way to produce food in a world with more-extreme weather-but only if growers can figure out a successful business model.
Luminescent Solar Concentrators for Greenhouses

Shaped like a pane of glass, a luminescent solar concentrator is typically transparent, but contains a luminescent dye that absorbs light within a particular spectral range, then re-emits the light at a different wavelength.
Bay Area aerial imaging startup teams up to detect disease in crops before outbreaks
Seung Lee for The Mercury News: An Oakland-based startup is sending its aerial imaging technology to the Midwestern plains to help farmers detect pests and diseases in their corn and soybean fields before an outbreak.
Combining solar panels and agriculture makes land more productive
Karen Graham for Digital Journal: An agrophotovoltaics (APV) pilot project conducted at Lake Constance has proven that farming and the use of solar panels can be compatible.
Energy-efficient vertical farm to fight food poverty
David Szondy for New Atlas: "Obviously the footprint needs to be small, so you have to go vertical. And you'll need to use artificial lighting. These are the problems we decided to solve for."
World's first floating farm in the Netherlands
Mina Solanki for IAmExPat: Floating Farm will be made from a concrete base and will measure around 1.000 square metres. The roof will be fitted with solar panels and a rainwater collection system.
