B-hive Innovations attended the REAP Conference 2024, joining agri-tech leaders to explore cutting-edge advancements in sustainable agriculture. The event provided valuable insights into AI integration, collaborative partnerships, and innovative technologies, aligning with B-hive’s mission to deliver impactful solutions for the agricultural industry. Key discussions and networking opportunities are set to drive forward projects like TuberNetZero and PHENO-TUB while opening doors for exciting collaborations.
AS INNOVATION in the agritech sector continues to move on at breakneck speed, the challenge for growers and farmers is often not that the technology to help them isn’t available, but that they can’t settle on an approach to take. Technology is developing at such a rapid rate that it is a challenge to stay ahead of the curve, with new technologies bringing in new approaches to planning, growing, and harvesting.
A wireworm infestation can devastate agricultural crops with potatoes being particularly at risk. Wireworm numbers have been increasing for years – join B-hive’s local expert, Rebekah Neill, to find out all about wireworms - what they are, why they are such a problem and our armoury of tools to combat them.
Agri-Tech business B-hive Innovations has joined forces with UK premier fresh fruit grower Adrian Scripps Ltd to attract prestigious Innovate UK research funding to accelerate agricultural innovation. The groundbreaking twelve-month project will allow apple growers to access greater insights into the size, count and variability of their fresh produce at the point of harvest, allowing […]
B-hive Innovations, an agri-tech research and development company, has announced its collaboration with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) on a joint programme aimed at reducing potato bruising.
Root crop disease and defect monitoring system TuberSense – under development by innovative agri-tech business B-hive Innovations – has entered its next project phase to revolutionise how technology can anticipate issues in tubers before the crop loses its quality and value.
Awarded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), research scientist Dr Barbara dos Santos Correia has been successful in her application for a Future Leaders Fellowship and will receive nearly £675k to support her TuberSense project – a four-year research programme that aims to detect diseases and defects in potato crops, using volatile biomarkers and innovative gas sensors to reduce food waste across the supply chain.
Following extensive research, their extraction process will be put into practice at a new £6m protein plant facility, where construction started last week at national potato supplier Branston's headquarters in Lincolnshire. The commercial factory will include bespoke technologies and capabilities to meet the growing demand for UK-grown, plant-based food ingredients.
