4 Summary The Environmental Challenge: Population, climate, water, soil, crop yields, food waste. The solution is Agri-Tech: Plant science, animal science, precision agriculture and aquaculture UK Agri-Tech Research: 100 new catalyst Research Projects & 4 cutting-edge Agri-Tech Centres Agri-Tech Investments: Case Studies from Syngenta, BASF, Kaneka & Arlabion 4
5 The Environmental Challenge Feeding 2.5 billion more people by 2050 Coping with Climate change Impacts on water supplies, extreme weather, sea level rise, precipitation Reducing carbon emissions through sustainable practices Reducing environmental degradation Soil erosion, desertification, loss of cropland, loss of crop diversity, ocean acidification, aquifer depletion Reversing crop productivity growth decline since Green Revolution Reducing food waste from farm to table 5
6 6 Agriculture Underpins 8 of 17 SDGs
7 The Solution is Agri-Tech Prof Paul Berryman, Agri-Tech Specialist, Agri-Tech Organisation, DIT 7 Presentation title - edit in the Master slide

18 18 Trick beetles to get better beans
19 Precision Agriculture Catalyst Project 19 WheatScan: Tractor-mount sensing for precision application of nitrogen and control of wheat protein 19
20 Animal Science Catalyst Projects 20 Evaluation of MALDI-TOF-MS to differentiate sub-species of the pathogen S uberis to provide an improved approach to mastitis treatment and control Development of novel attenuated PRRS vaccine and disease model. 20
21 Seaweed as a Solution for Sustainable Economic and Environmental Development (S3EED) Aquaculture Catalyst Projects 21 Lobster grower - develop the technology to fast-track the aquaculture potential for the European lobster 21
22 Agri-Tech Centres Agrimetrics: Scalable Data Platform and Data Ecosystem for data integration, modelling and analysis Centre for Crop Health and Protection (CHAP) to revolutionise how farmers manage crop threats including pests and disease ( 21m) Centre for Innovation Excellence in Livestock (CIEL) to create new livestock technology ( 29m) Agricultural Engineering Precision Innovation Centre (Agri-EPI) addressing the fast-moving market of precision agriculture ( 18m) 22
23 Investments: Case Studies Prof Paul Berryman, Agri-Tech Specialist, Agri-Tech Organisation, DIT 23 Presentation title - edit in the Master slide
24 Agri-Tech Investors 24 24
25 FDI Case Study 1: Syngenta Swiss Agrochemicals giant Syngenta established a new Global Operations Centre in Manchester creating 200 new jobs. This expanded Syngenta s activities in the UK, which is already home to the company s largest global research and development facility in Berkshire and two major production facilities in Yorkshire and Scotland. 25
26 FDI Case Study 2 : BASF 26 Nematodes BASF scientist German firm BASF expanded its Littlehampton facility as part of a multimillion Agri-Tech investment. This doubled production capacities for beneficial nematodes, which are microscopic organisms that can control a diverse range of insect and slug pests. 26
27 FDI Case Study 3 : Arlabion 27 After DIT helped Latvian business Arlabion to relocate into the UK, they introduced two new chemical compounds to the market seed treatment products for winter wheat, peppers and tomatoes. The compounds act as systemic plant activators and enhance plant immune system response against pathogen attack. Key targets are Fusarium and Septoria tritici on wheat. 27
28 R&D Case Study: Kaneka. 28 Japanese Corporation Kaneka signed a research collaboration agreement with the University of Sheffield to exploit a new type of fertiliser that speeds up photosynthesis and therefore crop yields. 28
29 Summary The Environmental Challenge: Population, climate, water, soil, crop yields, food waste. The solution is Agri-Tech: Plant science, animal science, precision agriculture and aquaculture UK Agri-Tech Research: 100 new catalyst Research Projects & 4 cutting-edge Agri-Tech Centres Agri-Tech Investments: Case Studies from Syngenta, BASF, Kaneka & Arlabion 29
