FarmB Labs is a Lincolnshire based agricultural technology and software company set up in 2024 with a parent company based in Greece, which offers technological solutions for all types of agri-businesses and seeks to tackle the data fragmentation problem in precision farming.

FarmB Labs operates as the organisation’s dedicated Research and Development hub where the team focuses on the inter-connection of precision agriculture technologies and enhancing their digital ecosystem. The main motivator was to bridge the disconnect within data sources in arable agriculture. 

Farm B Labs are located within the Lincoln Barclays Eagle Lab complex, a partnership with the University of Lincoln, where other SME’s focused on agritech, food and farming are co-located.  

The FarmB Labs team’s vision was to be able to support the growth of agri-robotics, connecting and supporting robotic platforms to leapfrog data connectivity issues, and so siting at this cluster location has enabled FarmB to form connections through the Barclays Eagle Lab team, the University of Lincoln’s expertise in agri-robotics, and the wider UK Food Valley ecosystem, make the site the natural choice. 

FarmB Labs’ two staff memebrs hail from the EPSRC centre for doctoral training in agri-robotics (Agri-FoRwArdS) at the University of Lincoln, where skills are developed in robotics, AI, software and automation and applied to agri-food domains. This scheme, running in Lincolnshire creates another reason for high tech businesses to be based here. 

FarmB shares the same goal with it’s established founder  – to close the gap between technological research and everyday practices in the agricultural sector, and offer technological solutions for agri-businesses, whilst simultaneously promoting sustainability and circular economy practices in agriculture, advancing regenerative farming and carbon farming initiatives. 55,000 Greek farmers are connected on their platform and the platform is also used by leading companies including Amstel and Berilla. The platform supports farmers with their mandatory carbon reporting to the Greek Government.

Current initiatives include the development and integration of robotic systems and advanced field-sensor networks with the company’s cloud-based platform and FarmB Labs recently won the Mayor's Great Exhibition Competition with their In-Field Robot Control Software as part of a consortium.  By developing the cloud integration, FarmB empowers the robot to make smarter, data-driven decisions in the field, whilst ARWAC engineered the robotic hardware and power electronics and the Lincoln Institute for Agri-food Technology (LIAT) designed and integrated the soil sampling system. Click here to read the full story.  

These innovations support data-driven decision-making, automation of key agricultural tasks, and the delivery of actionable insights based on live field intelligence, ultimately driving productivity, sustainability, and efficiency in modern farming operations.
