Agri-tech experts suggest a Code of Practice similar to Australia s could be adapted to the UK
An Australian code of practice for autonomous crop equipment could be adapted for UK use, agri-tech experts have suggested.
The draft Australian Code of Practice for Autonomous Crop Equipment focuses on operational hazard control, vehicle transport between fields, pesticide application and incident reporting, among others.
In Australia, a Code of Practice is admissible in court and shows that an employer or company has complied with best practices.
A recent discussion involving 50 agri-tech experts focused on how a similar Code of Practice could be adapted to UK conditions.
