Drone Innovation in UK Agriculture with Jack Wrangham, Founder of Drone Ag
Today's guest is Jack Wrangham, Founder of Drone Ag
(@dronesforag)
With more than 10 years of drone experience, Jack founded Drone Ag on his family farm in 2015 with the aim of looking at how drone technology could help farming.
Drone Ag enables more productive and sustainable farming through practical drone automation and AI systems.
Drone Ag delivers the Skippy Scout drone-based scouting programme. Fast, efficient, automated scouting & reporting - Skippy Scout uses farmer’s smartphones to fly a drone and collect data at key points in their fields. Then it creates field reports on crop health, problems and progress in minutes.
We're going to be exploring Jack’s journey towards becoming a sustainability leader, dig into the world of agtech and drone-enabled business models, and learn about Drone Ag’s own unique value proposition.
Enjoy the show!
