His research examines the possibilities of integrating data between farmers and archaeologists in order to promote ‘precision farming’, a new area of agricultural technology that aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of farm management and reduce environmental pollution risk.

Archaeologists often look for areas of past human occupation by looking at soil and crop variations, but their data can be important for farmers trying to manage their land.

From March 2016, Henry will spend 3 months working in the Science Policy Centre on policy areas involving agriculture, resilience to extreme weather and emerging technologies.
