We are using blockchain to track the origin of beef to overcome food fraud and protect Australia's beef industry.

This project helps cotton farms demonstrate their environmental sustainability practices using acoustic sensors and data visualisation to track biodiversity.

We are developing tools to assess the economical impact of robotic-enabled weed and fertilisation management in relation to productivity, profitability and sustainability of broadacre farms.

We're undertaking a review to identify who the most important stakeholders are for cotton, what sustainability issues the industry should be reporting on, and how multiple aspects of sustainability can be effectively reported to stakeholders.

A new project allows you to customise and 3D print your own fruit in what will be the future of fruit.

Meet AgBot II, a new generation tool for robotic site-specific crop and weed management.

'Harvey', a new agricultural robot prototype designed to identify and robotically harvest capsicums (sweet peppers).

We are seeking to improve situational awareness for farmers in regard to quantity, quality and spacial variability of crops to enable more efficient management of workforce and selective harvesting, thus improving productivity and maximising the quality of the crop delivered to market.

We are mapping the decision space in cotton farming systems and capturing increased potential value through the integration of data-to-information interactions between the farming enterprise and the value chain.
