Contextual Intelligence for Farms & Rural Business

Farms & Rural businesses face a number of challenges. Rural crime is a growing issue, and cost the industry £50million in 2018. Outbuildings, livestock, agri-vehicles and machinery are all targets. These are assets that have traditionally lacked the security systems necessary to deter criminals and less than 10% of stolen goods are usually recovered.

Fatal Injuries in agriculture, forestry and fishing are 18 times the national average, higher than any other industry. In the past four years an average of 13,000 injuries have been reported each year,in the UK alone, the economic cost of which is estimated at £293million in 2016/17. 

By 2050, it is expected that the global population will reach 9.6bn and food production must effectively double from current levels. By this time, a third of the world could be living in water stress. The agricultural industry uses 70% of all the freshwater globally, yet it is estimated that 60% is wasted at huge cost to the industry and the planet.  A new wave of precision agriculture is needed to drive new efficiencies.
