A first-of-its-kind innovation and technology proving ground for the world’s farmers and land managers has been launched at a remote Scottish hill farm.
The Climate Innovation Hub at Glensaugh has been set up in an Aberdeenshire glen by independent research organisation The James Hutton Institute to plug a critical gap in access to real-world sites to prove and reduce the risk of new climate technologies.
Through the hub, technology developers will have access to the institute’s 1,000 ha research farm, including offices, conference facilities and laboratories, to help them develop and test novel concepts and tools, from new smart sensors to recycling farm waste.
