Some other Queensland AgTech research activities
We work collaboratively with universities and research organisations to trial new technologies on the horizon and turn ideas into investable products to grow businesses.
New technologies enable businesses to remain economically viable, improve productivity, quality and yield, enhance sustainability, reduce waste, facilitate better decision-making, and support regional communities.
