New technologies can help to transform our food systems for the better. Importantly, we need a skilled workforce to be able to develop and manage these technologies. Meet Oli Hilbourne, Operations Director at Outfield, an agritech startup that is that helping fruit growers be more productive and sustainable. Outfield is part of EIT Food’s Food Accelerator Network Alumni Group.

Oli shares his passion for helping farmers to reduce food waste by monitoring crop yields effectively using drones and an AI-integrated system, as part of the EIT Food ‘Day in the Life’ video series.

The predicted labour shortage in the agri-food industry by 2030 coupled with the lack of careers information young people receive on food and farming roles has driven the development of this series. The agri-food industry has a variety of exciting jobs on offer throughout the food value chain. As such, this video series aims to inspire young audiences to consider a career within the agri-food sector.

We recommend this video for teenagers and young adults to learn about what a job as a operations director involves.
