In this evoke^AG. podcast episode we explore an innovative collaboration and dive into how ag industries are bridging the adoption gap when it comes to agtech, chatting with Dr Louise Brown, CEO and Founder of HydGene, and New South Wales farmer Stuart Tait.

What do you get when Australia’s top agtech innovators collaborate, rather than compete? Solutions that make beef production easier, more productive, and more profitable.

AgriWebb, Farmbot, Cibo Labs, Pairtree, and Optiweigh share how they’re working together to give beef producers more bang for their agtech buck.

In this evoke^AG. podcast episode we dive into how ag industries are bridging the adoption gap when it comes to agtech, chatting with Jenn Honnery, the CEO of the Bowen Gumlu Growers Association and Queensland mango farmer Ben Martin.

Ticks; a tiny but mighty pain for the Australian beef industry, taking a $146 million-dollar bite out of the sector every year.
But after more than 18 years research which began in the Department of Primary Industries & Fisheries (now in the Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries/QDAF), a vaccine is showing powerful potential to disrupt the life cycle of the cattle tick.
University of Queensland scientists Professor Ala Tabor and Dr Hannah Siddle of the Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation share how they’re set to test their vaccine on 40 cattle in a proof-of-concept trial for commercial adoption.

With more applications than ever before, it’ll be a nail-biting, whip cracking, nerve wracking time when the 2024 evoke^AG. Pitch in the Paddock Competition fires up next month at Beef2024. Get to know the eight visionaries and innovators who will be going head-to-head in Rockhampton, Queensland.

Lucy Anderton, Founder of myFARMSMART recently participated in the evoke^AG. Startup Network program. We caught up with Lucy, and producer Jeremy Walker on the benefits of using this technology to make more informed decisions on-farm.

This week we take a close look at a fruitful partnership between farmer and agritech founder. Our regular evoke^AG. contributor Judy Kennedy speaks with Dan Winson, Founder and CEO of Zetifi a wireless networking startup and Andrew Dumaresq, a broadacre cropping farmer, both based at Wagga Wagga, NSW. It’s a partnership that's evolved and provided a win-win situation for both Dan and Andrew.

Poor connectivity is the challenge, Wagga Wagga based wireless networking startup Zetifi have set out to solve, affecting two thirds of Australian farms. Teaming up with local grain grower, Andrew Dumaresq to trial technology on-farm has been key in maximising its value to the end user – the farmer.

Australian agritech leaders, Cibo Labs and Ceres Tag believe “collaboration is the key” in delivering integrated solutions for farmers that support a single decision-making framework and help drive on-farm agritech adoption.

A kaleidoscope of space-based tech designed to enhance precision agriculture and foster efficient food production is ready for take-off, so how do we drive adoption?

How farmers collect, use and store data is what will drive Australian agriculture in the future, and everyone has a view on what opportunities are available.
