Webinar Description:
Farmers on the look-out for new sources of income often move along a well-trodden path: glamping pods, holiday rentals, an upgrade to the farm shop, or new solar or other renewable energy production. But, whilst you’d have had to be living under a rock not to have heard about the boom in AI, most farmers wouldn’t naturally associate the topic with an increase in farm income.
In this web seminar, FG Consulting Editor Cedric Porter talks to Josh Ridett, CEO of EasyCrypto Hunter and EasyCompute, who has advised the EU parliament on crypto about how the AI market is shaping up in the UK, and why agricultural community may be uniquely positioned to capitalise by demplying a micro AI data centre at their farms.
We also tour Hendwr Farm, where pastoral farmer Phil Hughes talks about how he has been monetising the tech opportunity for years.
Join this live web seminar and learn:
- What is AI, and why is it relevant to farmers?
- How can farmers monetise AI?
- Do you need to be technical? (clue, no)
- Why existing farm buildings are a good fit for data centres
- Key challenges and how to overcome them
