The Agri-tech Education and Extension team is a group of researchers and practitioners from CQUniversity Australia who develop innovative programs to increase the skills and knowledge of the current and next generation agricultural workforce in agri-tech tools and systems.
The team works with educational institutions, agricultural businesses and industry organisations to develop and implement a range of learning opportunities for educators, students and those working in the agricultural industry to build their capacity to use data and technology to support decision making across the supply chain.
All of our projects aim to showcase the scientific and digital skills required in the agricultural industry to upskill the current agricultural workforce and attract the next generation to work in the food and fibre production sector.
Agribusiness Connect is Australia's premier agribusiness ecosystem, delivering key innovation programs that address complex industry challenges, from farming, manufacturing, technology and retail. As an organisation focused on ecosystem building and innovation commercialisation, they have extensive networks and reputation, connecting innovators directly to industry.
The team delivers programs across regional communities, working with primary producers, start ups, manufacturers within the agribusiness value chain, universities, government, investors and corporates to drive innovation and ensure that science and technology translate to industry. In turn, this fosters a safer, more transparent, and sustainable agricultural industry.
