In a rapidly changing world, Australian agriculture has set its sights on achieving big things. As we move toward a net zero carbon footprint and building to a $100 billion industry, technology has never been more important.
A partnership between Charles Sturt University and Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre, the Global Digital Farm is a 'landscape laboratory' at work on a 1600Ha commercial, operating farm, located at the Wagga Wagga campus in New South Wales (Australia).
At Global Digital Farm, we're helping Australian farmers to unlock the power of data, digital technology and world-leading research to face a fast-moving and sustainable farming future.
Technology is used to enhance the operations of the commercial farm and help the farm manager make business critical decisions.

A first-class facility that allows students to develop practical skills in livestock handling, clinical skills and herd management.
Our modern and sophisticated plant growth facilities are used for a wide range of research projects and by students studying biology subjects.
The Irrigation Laboratory was established to optimise irrigation design for energy savings, water savings and efficiency. It enables students to observe the relationship between physical models of irrigation and operational systems.
An indoor plant growth facility that provides precisely controllable climatic conditions for experimental plant research.
Students can experiment with a variety of farm practices on crops to see the effect on growth, yield, soil nutrients, disease and weed control.
