📢 Cauldron Ferm’s $4.3M Industry Growth Program grant signals Federal Government support for the commercialisation of Australia’s precision fermentation industry. CAA is encouraged to see the Australian government recognising the value of and need for public funding to support emerging technologies like precision fermentation to contribute to the creation of a more diversified and resilient food system and economy. According to Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry & Science - “Making more things here, strengthening supply chains and keeping our know-how and talent onshore where it belongs – that’s what a Future Made in Australia is all about." The Industry Growth Program aims to support SMEs undertaking commercialisation projects that will build Australian capabilities in priority areas for the National Reconstruction Fund. Cauldron Ferm received funding through the ‘commercialisation and growth stream,’ which provides matched grant funding to help transition ideas from prototyping through to market readiness stages. Cauldron Ferm Co-founder and CEO Michele Stansfield stated “this funding will support the expansion of our commercial demo facility in Orange, enabling us to prove our hyper-fermentation platform at an industrially relevant scale and in the process commercialise the technology of both Cauldron and its customers.” We hope that this grant is a step-off point for further public investment in cellular agriculture, enabled through key government policy mechanisms such as the National Reconstruction Fund. ➡ This will not only be essential to support the commercialisation of the technology, but will enable Australia to capitalise on its unique opportunity to be a global leader in the production of novel foods and ingredients. #cellularagriculture #cellag #precisionfermentation

We are honored to announce that Cauldron Ferm has been awarded $4.3M by the Department of Industry, Science and Resources Industry Growth Program (IGP). The IGP program aims to "propel SMEs into a solid growth trajectory, with this important avenue to grow our manufacturing capabilities using the cutting edge ideas of younger firms," according to Hon. Ed Husic MP, Minister for Industry and Science IGP grants are aligned with the seven priority areas of the $15 billion National Reconstruction Fund Corporation: Resources; Transport; Medical Science; Defence Capability; Renewables and Low Emission Technologies; Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and; Enabling Capabilities. This award reinforces our commitment to advancing Australia's biomanufacturing capabilities and positioning Australia as a global leader in the bioeconomy 🇦🇺 Thanks to Startup Daily for sharing the news.

🔌👩🏾🌾Innovation in Agrivoltaics: Courageous Innovators for a Sustainable Future Innovation in agrivoltaics requires not only technical know-how and scientific expertise but also the courage to explore new paths and overcome challenges. Integrating photovoltaic systems into agricultural practices is a revolutionary approach that holds immense potential for both sustainable energy production and enhanced agricultural productivity. Experts, scientists, legal professionals, technicians, and many other specialists dedicate countless hours of their lives to researching and implementing agrivoltaic solutions. These innovators tirelessly strive to promote sustainable energy sources while simultaneously boosting agricultural yields. I hold great respect for these courageous individuals and am therefore very excited to attend the upcoming World Conference on Agrivoltaics in Denver. There, I will have the opportunity to exchange ideas with these dedicated professionals, learn from their experiences, and collaboratively work towards shaping a sustainable future. The conference provides a platform for dialogue, idea exchange, and the promotion of innovations in agrivoltaics. Together, we can tackle challenges and develop solutions that benefit both agriculture and the energy sector. It is inspiring to witness the passion and commitment invested in this crucial field, and I look forward to the valuable insights and inspiration that will emerge from these interactions. #Agrivoltaics #SustainableFuture #RenewableEnergy #Agriculture #AgrivoltaicsWorldConferenceDenver2024 #GreenEnergy

🤝 Having a technical #synergy with IMIDRA - Instituto Madrileño de Investigación y Desarrollo Rural, Agrario y Alimentario provides the Z-ONA4LIFE consortium with an alternative research and academic perspective to shape how we think about the various applications of #zeolites and their capacity to address critical environmental challenges, specifically those related to agricultural threats, including soil erosion.   IMIDRA's dedication to agricultural research, and specific contributions to soil remediation through the TEC-2024/ECO-69 and PID2023-149788OB-C21 projects, aligns with the Z-ONA mission to enable activities that solve high priority and critical agricultural issues with sustainable solutions. With this collaboration we aim to bring visibility to the work being done to build more resilient agricultural systems by specifically bridging the gaps between zeolite research and soil remediation developments. ➡️ Learn more about our partnership: https://lnkd.in/eQxcFgdu

📢 Join the conversation! Our #HorizonEurope project kicks off writing a #PositionPaper! This will demonstrate a common vision about what #AgEnRes is all about: how can European agriculture become resilient against price fluctuations of fossil energy and mineral fertilisers? This position paper will articulate and discuss the research questions, such as: - What are sound indicators of energy dependency? - How do farmers perceive risk of input price fluctuations? - Can we develop financial tools for farmers that mitigate risk in a cost-effective way? - What is the preferred fossil energy-saving technological innovation or bundle of innovations by farmers and why? - What are the relevant trade-offs in the energy transition (e.g. farm income, food security, environment, biodiversity, more?). You are invited to add suggestions for research questions in the comments below! 👇 Don't forget to follow our page to keep updated about the position paper and the progress of the project! 🌱 #AgEnRes #SustainableAgriculture #CollaborationForChange #HorizonEurope #EUAgriculture #Farming #Agriculture #FossilEnergy Wageningen Economic Research Wageningen University & Research Geonardo Environmental Technologies International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) INRAE Szkoła Główna Gospodarstwa Wiejskiego w Warszawie AgroApps PC E3-Modelling Energy-Economy-Environment SLU - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Leibniz Institute of Agricultural Development in Transition Economies (IAMO) Università di Trento Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL BESTMAP Tools4CAP LAMASUS Smart Farming Technology Group - Agricultural University of Athens
