Dyson Farming
What we do:
Farming is not a cottage-industry, or something quaint and nostalgic; efficient, high-technology agriculture holds many of the keys to our future.
Sustainable food production and food security are vital to the nation’s health and the nation’s economy, whilst there is also a real opportunity for agriculture to drive a revolution in technology and vice versa.
Dyson Farming work closely with Dyson Engineers, using new technologies and ingenuity to grow produce responsibly and at scale, while also nurturing the natural environment and biodiversity.
Technology and innovation lie at the heart of modern farming; enabling farmers to boost productivity, increase efficiency and use fewer chemicals.
The increasingly symbiotic relationship between Dyson Farming and Dyson Technology can yield new approaches which drive sustainability and performance, underpinning our circular farming model.
For People and Planet :
Dyson Farming produces high quality and nutritious food all year round.
Their regenerative approach to food production aims to create a nourishing environment to grow a range of crops from wheat to barley, peas to potatoes, and strawberries alongside a fully integrated livestock enterprise producing high-welfare beef and lamb.
As part of their vision for circular farming, anaerobic digesters use crops grown on the farm to generate enough energy to power the equivalent of 10,000 homes.
This is vitally important part of the business and presents a huge opportunity to do more with the resources available on the farm.
Farming and environment go hand in hand.
By monitoring, protecting and enhancing the landscape around us, they benefit wildlife, pollinators and soils to maintain an enriched environment.
Why we do it:
Dyson Farming’s aim is to make British farms self-sufficient, using their own energy and resources to grow high-quality produce and reinvigorate the value in better-tasting, healthier food.
This vision for the future of farming is based on teams exploring how technology can be used to unearth new techniques and create new opportunities for the benefit of both produce and the environment.
