Stronger together
Plague Technology Global (PTG) is an early-stage UK agricultural technology venture founded by Aaron Elliott. We are researching how cameras, artificial intelligence, drones, and mapping can transform desert locust detection to protect crops, food supplies, and farming livelihoods.
Our research focus
We are investigating modern technological capabilities to build early detection tools and decision-support systems for vulnerable agricultural regions.
Camera detection
Investigating optical sensors and vision systems designed for early locust identification and automated classification.
AI analysis
Exploring machine learning models to analyse image datasets and environmental data for timely threat detection.
Aerial monitoring
Assessing unmanned aerial vehicles and mobile sensor platforms to cover remote, expansive agricultural terrain.
Risk mapping
Developing predictive mapping models to provide clear decision support for researchers, agencies, and farmers.
Protecting global harvests
Founded by Aaron Elliott, Plague Technology Global aims to turn ambitious ideas into practical, evidence-based tools for agriculture. Currently at concept and prototype-planning stage, we focus on harmless simulation, software architecture, and collaborative validation before practical deployment.
Evidence-based innovation
Desert locust swarms threaten food security and livelihoods across continents. By combining computer vision, mobile sensing, and geospatial intelligence, we are designing tools to support early intervention and safeguard crops.
Research institutions
Partnering with universities and entomological scientists to validate behavioural models and image recognition accuracy.
Academic collaboration
Pilot partners
Working alongside agricultural agencies and tech developers to plan field trials, testing environments, and data pipelines.
Technical development
Funding bodies
Seeking innovation grants and mission-driven investment to advance prototype design and simulation tools.
Strategic funding
Collaborate with us
We welcome dialogues with researchers, public agencies, investors, and agricultural organisations. Together, we can accelerate the development of critical early warning tools.
