CYBER security and agriculture came together in Gloucestershire earlier this month, as Hartpury University and Hartpury College's Digital Innovation Farm hosted the very first Hack-A-Tractor, an innovative cross-sector learning event designed to demonstrate how digital skills underpin the future of food, farming and rural resilience.
Held at Hartpury's Digital Innovation Farm, the event saw cyber students and agriculture students work side by side, exploring how technology is transforming the land-based sector and how cyber protection is now essential on farms that are increasingly connected, automated and data-driven.
Around 60 Hartpury agriculture students took part, alongside 20 cyber apprentices from Gloucestershire College and students from the University of Gloucestershire and representatives from industry.
