Britain is backing the future of farming with £20 million for robots that can plant, tend, and harvest crops without seasonal workers. The tech could transform agriculture while solving one of farming's biggest headaches.
England is opening applications for £20 million in funding to develop robots and automated systems that could revolutionize farming, from mushroom picking to vineyard mapping. The program has already helped create the world's first commercial robotic mushroom harvester.
Waitrose operates the UK's only supermarket-owned farm, using 2,800 acres to prove regenerative agriculture works at scale. Their approach restores soil health underground while bees, wildlife, and fresh food thrive above. #
The UK and eight European countries just committed to building 100 gigawatts of clean energy offshore wind farms by 2050, strengthening energy security while driving down costs. For the first time, these wind farms will connect to multiple countries simultaneously through undersea cables.
A farming family in Gloucestershire just proved you can produce clean energy and raise livestock on the same land. Their 40MW solar project keeps sheep grazing between panels while stabilizing farm income.
A University of Essex spinout just raised over €1.17 million to bring affordable farming robots to growers struggling with labour shortages. The AI-powered machines can gently pick fruits and vegetables, making advanced automation accessible to farms of all sizes.
Britain just greenlit its largest solar farm ever, an 800-megawatt clean energy project that will power hundreds of thousands of homes by 2029. The Springwell Solar Farm marks a major leap forward in the UK's transition away from fossil fuels.
British farms are getting a major tech upgrade with £50 million in funding for innovative tools that boost productivity while protecting the planet. From living biopesticides to tree-strengthening fungi, these nature-based solutions are helping farmers grow more food with fewer chemicals.
The British government just greenlit an 800-megawatt solar farm in Lincolnshire that will become the UK's largest renewable energy project of its kind. The massive clean energy win moves Britain closer to its climate goals while delivering some of the cheapest power available.
Britain just greenlit its largest solar power project, an 800-megawatt farm in Lincolnshire that will generate enough clean energy for half the county's households. It's the latest win in a record-breaking year that saw renewables power more than half of the UK's electricity for the first time ever.
The first turbine just went up at East Anglia THREE, Britain's largest offshore wind farm, featuring record-breaking 115-metre blades made entirely in the UK. When complete, this massive project will deliver clean electricity to over 1.3 million homes while creating hundreds of permanent jobs.
Britain just greenlit its largest solar farm yet, an 800-megawatt project in Lincolnshire that will power more than 180,000 homes annually. The approval marks a major step toward the UK's ambitious goal of completely decarbonizing its power grid by 2030.
Ten European countries are teaming up to build a massive network of offshore wind farms in the North Sea, promising cheaper energy and stronger security for millions. The UK just signed on to help complete 100 gigawatts of shared wind capacity by 2050.
A massive new wind farm off the Lincolnshire coast just got the green light, bringing clean energy to 1.5 million British homes by 2030. The 100-turbine project marks another major step in the UK's renewable energy transformation.
A British solar farm is inviting everyday people to invest in the UK's first community-owned battery storage system for just £100. The project could change how communities power themselves while earning returns on their investment.
Denmark's Vestas just secured a massive contract to build one of Europe's largest offshore wind farms off England's coast. The facility will generate enough clean energy to power 1.5 million British homes.
Britain loses millions of tons of topsoil yearly, but one supermarket's farm is proving regenerative agriculture can reverse centuries of damage. National Geographic documented how Waitrose's techniques are helping restore what takes up to 1,000 years to naturally rebuild.
A massive underwater cable just pulled ashore in Norfolk marks the first physical connection between the world's biggest offshore wind farm and Britain's power network. When Hornsea 3 fires up in 2027, it will supply clean electricity to 3.3 million homes. ##
After 40 years of research, the numbers are in: organic farming isn't just better for the planet, it's more profitable. Even with lower yields, certified organic farms are consistently earning more than conventional operations.
Britain just smashed its solar energy record two days in a row, hitting 14.4GW of clean electricity from sunshine alone. The milestone comes as the government greenlights the country's largest solar farm yet, part of a massive clean energy push.
