You’re creating the future: a product or service that does not yet exist. How do you ensure your team is on the same page? Do you tell them how they will build it? How it will work? Or do you paint the picture of how it will make people’s lives better? Your investors and partners […]

Looking for ways to reliably convert ideas and concepts into products or services that meet the real needs of the market and your business? Ag Innovations Bootcamp (5-6 December 2018, Hamilton, New Zealand) is a two-day workshop […]
Why are relatively few agritech products achieving adoption at scale when billions of dollars are being invested internationally every year? New start-ups appear almost weekly. And established companies are shifting from small innovations around the edges to major projects that sit at the heart of business plans. Yet for all this activity, few product ideas […]
Back in March I posted an article on LinkedIn arguing the case for future farm support to be channelled into technology solutions that can deliver productivity gains and better deliver of social and environmental goods. Well it seems the UK government is listening. Its publication of the Agriculture Bill last month which will determine farming support for […]
I started writing about the case for smarter tech in cattle and sheep breeding programmes a while ago, and quickly realised there was more than would fit in a single blog post. In my previous post I described how technology can help us increase the pace of genetic progress, by: Measuring what we can’t easily […]
Is bespoke development always the expensive option? It is hard to think of a business today that does not rely on software to improve efficiency, compliance or reaching customers. As businesses grow the opportunity to encapsulate functions and processes within an information system increases. Indeed, your software may define your business success. One of the […]
My first job in livestock performance recording was with the Genetics Section, as it was called, at Ruakura Research Centre in New Zealand. I worked part time while studying at university, transferring research trial data off the government mainframe on reel-to-reel tape, and writing inbreeding coefficient calculation software. The genetics section was based in an […]
Last week the UK Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) announced an industry consultation to develop a set of principles (code) to promote the sharing of farm data. Happily, we at Rezare UK have been awarded the contract to run this project based on our unique agridata expertise and our significant experience in developing a […]
Information is the life-blood of today’s businesses and will enable the transformations occurring in the agriculture and food business sector. Historically, information has only been exchanged between businesses at the transactional level (such as shipping notices and invoices), while richer data that could differentiate products, demonstrate environmental compliance, and optimise business value has remained isolated […]
If you’re in the food business (whether that’s retail, food service, processing, farming, or supply), consumers are asking questions about your supply chain. Of course, they may not be asking you directly, and they may not be asking your retail or food service partner, but they are asking: on social media, on recommendation sites such […]
Increasing numbers of farmers see technology as useful and important to their farming businesses, and farmers are looking to invest further in new technology over the coming years. Despite this, lingering concerns about data sharing, privacy and control remain. According to the October 2016 Commonwealth Bank of Australia Agri-Insights Survey of 1600 Australian farmers, 70% […]
