The report reveals strong demand for technologies that boost climate resilience, improve yields, and provide new crop protection solutions, including gene editing and AI-powered systems.

Many also feel undervalued by society, emphasizing the importance of food security and the urgent need for supportive policies and rapid innovation.
Airponix and Dyson Farming have partnered to develop a fog-based, peat-free system for producing disease-free Generation Zero (G0) seed potatoes in England, aiming to reduce reliance on imports and address food security concerns. Supported by Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme, the two-year project will test Airponix’s patented technology and AI-driven monitoring at a demonstration facility, evaluating costs, resource efficiency, and crop quality. The initiative seeks to provide a blueprint for commercial G0 seed production, accelerate the breeding of climate-resilient potato varieties, and create a model that can be replicated domestically and internationally. Key project milestones include initial production results in 2026-27 and final findings in spring 2028.
