Longreach agtech company develops wild dog management technologies

A Dutch company is launching the world’s first floating farm to meet demand for local food. The farm, built as an offshore facility in Rotterdam’s Merwehaven harbour will house 40 cows and deliver 800 litres of milk per day collected by robots.

Livestock agents have one of the oldest jobs in agribusiness, but is their use-by date fast approaching? For decades, they’ve been charging farmers upwards of 3-5pc for two main functions; marketing, and payment guarantee. So it shouldn’t come as a shock that when there’s that fat up for grabs and market share is owned by an incumbent model that’s not moving, we’re seeing startups taking aim.
