The long-term benefits of adopting AgTech on-farm are well known. Technology has the potential to significantly increase productivity, profitability and sustainability but despite the benefits, AgTech adoption in Australian agriculture remains low.
Many Australian producers describe new technology as difficult to navigate and worry about making unwise investments without a guarantee of return.
At Southern NSW Innovation Hub, together with Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA), industry partners, and KPMG, we’re working with producers to make AgTech adoption easier by clarifying the costs and benefits of AgTech and showing how digital tools could improve on-farm decision-making.
This project is part of our Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program, a joint initiative with the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
