Ben Baghurst

Ben is the Founder and Principal at AgTech Consulting and works closely with clients to accelerate development, commercialisation and adoption of AgTech.

He loves innovating to create impact, and has done so for close to 20 years developing and managing large–scale agribusiness, water, carbon, environmental restoration, minerals & energy, and hi-tech sector programs for the South Australian Government. These involved strategic planning, complex stakeholder engagement, technical expertise, change management, and detailed management of risks, costs, timeframes and human resources.
