From Pixels to Production: Applying Computer Vision in Agri-Food
Whether you're exploring AI for the first time or looking to expand your digital toolkit, this Innovate UK BridgeAI training will provide the insights and practical knowledge you need to take your business to the next level.
This webinar takes place Wednesday 6 August at 12pm.
July
As we shared recently, farmers in England can get a funded vet visit (also called an Animal Health and Welfare Review) for each of their herds or flocks of the same species.
This means that if you manage several groups of cattle, pigs or sheep, you can now get support across your business – not just for a single herd or flock.
To help you learn more about this offer, we’re holding 2 webinars in July. One for sheep farmers, the other for pig farmers.
