Hazel Peavoy of The Walton Institute joined Rob O'Connor in the virtual studio to provide an overview of some of the agri-tech projects that have been undertaken at SETU. These have massive potential impacts in terms of food quality and efficiency, as well as food security. Climate change is also a major theme of the research.
