Aerial Drones Shed Light on the Struggles of British Apple Growers: Drone Media Imaging Teams Up with BBC One Show

In the picturesque countryside of Loddington Farm, a saga of challenges unfolds as British apple growers face an uphill battle against trade barriers, labor shortages, supermarket dominance, and rising production costs. The aftermath of Brexit has added to their woes, causing delays at borders and posing paperwork hurdles for exporting apples. To bring this poignant story to the forefront, Drone Media Imaging was called upon by BBC One Show to capture compelling aerial drone shots that would illustrate the plight of these growers.

The Troubles Faced by Loddington Farm
Loddington Farm’s difficulties began with the ramifications of Brexit, as additional paperwork and delays at the borders hampered their ability to export apples. This translated into lost opportunities and dwindling profits. Compounding the problem was the shortage of seasonal labor due to stricter immigration policies, making it increasingly difficult to meet production demands during peak periods.

Adding to their woes, supermarkets wielded their dominance and imposed unfair contracts, squeezing prices for Loddington Farm’s apples. The farm’s struggle to negotiate fair prices hindered their ability to sustain operations and invest in their future. Rising production costs further exacerbated the situation, leaving the once-thriving farm grappling with financial strain.

BBC One Show
Amidst the adversities faced by Loddington Farm, BBC One Show recognised the importance of bringing this story to the nation’s attention. The power of visual storytelling could paint a vivid picture of the challenges British apple growers endure daily. This is where Drone Media Imaging stepped in, capturing stunning aerial shots that showcased the farm’s vast apple orchards and highlighted the severity of their struggles.

Through the magic of drones, viewers were able to witness the scope of Loddington Farm’s operations and the sheer scale of their adversity. The aerial footage made the story personal and relatable, driving home the importance of supporting local growers and advocating for change.

The Impact of BBC One Show’s Coverage
BBC One Show’s compelling storytelling and Drone Media Imaging’s artful aerial shots struck a chord with viewers across the nation. The broadcast shed light on the larger issue faced by the British apple industry, prompting discussions among policymakers, consumers, and supermarket chains.

The public’s support and demand for fair prices from supermarkets have become instrumental in securing the future of the British apple industry. Social media campaigns and public outcry have urged supermarkets to reevaluate their contracts and establish equitable terms with local growers. Consumers have begun to embrace British apples, showing their support for the struggling farmers by choosing their produce over imported alternatives.

The Path Forward: Advocating for Change
As the story of Loddington Farm continues to resonate, it is evident that the British apple industry needs urgent change. Consumers, armed with the knowledge of their struggles, have the power to drive this change. By continuing to support local growers, advocating for fair prices, and making conscious choices in their purchases, consumers can be an integral part of the solution.

Drone Media Imaging’s collaboration with BBC One Show in capturing the plight of Loddington Farm has illuminated the challenges faced by British apple growers. The power of aerial drone shots, combined with engaging storytelling, has spurred public awareness and support for the struggling farmers. The urgent need for change in addressing trade barriers, labor shortages, and unfair contracts is now evident, and the responsibility rests upon consumers and policymakers alike to secure the future of the British apple industry. By supporting local growers and advocating for fair prices, we can ensure that the landscape of Loddington Farm and many others like it flourishes once more. Together, we can make a difference and sow the seeds of change for a thriving British apple industry.

Forest Canopy Survey Using Photogrammetry Techniques

Caterham School Photogrammetry of Forest Trees - Surveying for Chalara Fraxinea – Ash Dieback Last year, we were asked by Caterham School to survey and map their school forest known as Old Parks Wood. Ash trees within the wood were suffering from Chalara Fraxinea (Ash Dieback) a disease which has the potential to kill off 80% of the ash trees in the 45-acre wood and once dead, would quickly become dangerous to wildlife and other users of the woods, including the school pupils. The mission was to map the forest canopy by drone using photogrammetry survey techniques so that the school could get a full understanding of the degree of diseased trees that were present, and then subsequently put in place a management plan in conjunction with the Forestry Commission, Natural England and the local council. Project Background In 2014 the school had bought approximately 140 acres of Old Park Wood – partly to protect it from the threat of development but also to secure its long-term future as a bi...

Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging During Building Surveys

Beyond the Surface: Discovering Hidden Issues with Thermal Imaging during Building Surveys Building surveys have evolved significantly, thanks to advancements in thermal imaging technology and the transformative impact of thermal imaging during building surveys, uncovering concealed issues that traditional methods might overlook. The Power of Thermal Imaging Thermal imaging enables a deeper understanding of a building’s thermal performance. By capturing infrared radiation, these cameras reveal temperature variations that are invisible to the naked eye. This non-destructive technique is particularly valuable for identifying hidden issues affecting a building’s efficiency and structural integrity. Harnessing thermal imaging technology during surveys provides a comprehensive overview of a building’s insulation, HVAC systems, and potential air leaks. This proactive approach goes beyond the surface, allowing for precise problem detection before they escalate. Unearthing Insulation Deficie...
