How High-Quality Agri-Food Data can Create a Greener Future
Today I am joined by Sophie Cath, Business Development Manager at Eurofins Agro Testing UK, a branch of the multinational company that is the world's largest laboratory with over 900 labs across 61 countries. Eurofins UK deliver analytical services to the agricultural industry, particularly focusing on the nutrient analysis of soil, forage and manure.
We discuss the main trends within the testing industry - specifically how the focus on becoming more sustainable is leading to more companies wanting data to ensure transparency, and who their main clients are.
We also get a crash course in Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) , an analytical technique uniquely being used by EuroFins to give more in depth and efficient data on soil nutrients allowing reports to be produced on almost 100 types of soil nutrient.
