The UK Agri-Tech Centre has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through its Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Salamanca (IRNASA-CSIC), to advance innovations in agroforestry systems, sustainable inputs and renewable energy applications.
The MOU underscores the two organisations’ mutual dedication to promoting agri-tech development, facilitating collaboration and driving forward industry advancement.
The vision is to bolster business growth, innovation, research and collaboration in the agri-tech sector—solidifying a shared commitment to addressing global agricultural challenges and enhancing sustainability through joint initiatives.
Linsey Cresswell, UK Agri-Tech Centre’s head of strategic partnerships and International said: “This MOU represents a significant step forward in fostering international collaboration to drive meaningful innovation in agri-tech.
“Together, we aim to build financially viable, resilient and sustainable agricultural systems to address the challenges of climate change and food security.”
Both organisations believe the agreement can only bring positives and encourage solutions to the challenges the agricultural industry is facing, especially within the current climate.
It also supports market entry strategies for businesses in both countries and further strengthens the agri-tech sectors in the UK and Spain.
