50-word bio

Dr Maryna Kuzmenko is a UK-based speaker and trainer on AI in agriculture and a LinkedIn Top Voice. She founded MooMore, which uses thermal imaging to detect lameness in dairy cows early, co-founded Petiole, and writes the AI Fluency in Agriculture book series. She won the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2025/26.

100-word bio

Dr Maryna Kuzmenko is a UK-based speaker and trainer on AI in agriculture. She gives keynotes at agrifood conferences and industry meetings, trains agrifood teams in practical AI literacy, and writes for a 38K+ LinkedIn community as a LinkedIn Top Voice. Her work returns to one problem: a measurement that matters is locked behind specialist equipment, so the people who need it never take it. With Petiole Pro the answer was a smartphone camera, now used by research organisations on six continents. With MooMore, winner of the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2025/26, it is thermal imaging that catches lameness in dairy cows early.

Speaker introduction (to read aloud)

Our next speaker builds the technology she talks about. Dr Maryna Kuzmenko founded MooMore, which uses thermal imaging and AI to catch lameness in dairy cows before a farmer can see it, and co-founded Petiole, whose crop measurement tools are used by researchers on six continents. She is a LinkedIn Top Voice, the author of the AI Fluency in Agriculture book series, and a winner of the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2025/26. She has taught AI in agriculture to more than 3,400 students in 129 countries. Please welcome Dr Maryna Kuzmenko.

First-person bio

I speak and train on AI in agriculture, for conference audiences, boards and agrifood teams, and I build the thing I talk about. MooMore uses thermal imaging and on-device AI to catch lameness in dairy cows before anyone can see it, and it won the Innovate UK Women in Innovation Award 2025/26. Before that I spent a decade on the crop side with Petiole, building measurement tools now used by research organisations on six continents. I write about all of it as a LinkedIn Top Voice, and in the AI Fluency in Agriculture book series.
