Australia's #agriculture industry is a powerhouse. In 2022 it was valued at $87B. In the next 3-4 years it will be valued at $100B! This sector is going through an industrial scale #transformation. That means we need transformational technologies, and the opportunities are endless. If you are a #startup or #scaleup, your tech is most likely to have application in #agrifood. Join us for breakfast to hear the perspectives of farmer Jennifer Medway GAICD, founder Heba Khamis and investor advisor Rob Hulme. Come be a part of this conversation and learn what it takes to translate your #innovation into one of Australia's largest markets because you don't have to be from the agriculture industry to solve for agriculture.

At Smart AgriBus, we understand the urgent need for innovative solutions to sustain food security and meet the growing global demand for food.   While technology and innovative solutions to enhance food security are much, they often lack nurturing, support, and encouragement, both in financial backing and practical assistance.   That's why we at Smart AgriBus are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of APEX: the Agricultural Project Exhibition. APEX is set to be a groundbreaking event aimed at catalyzing innovation, technology creation, and adoption in agriculture.   APEX will bring together experts, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders from across the globe to showcase, support, and encourage cutting-edge solutions, share insights, and foster collaboration towards a more sustainable future for agriculture. It's an unparalleled opportunity to explore the latest advancements in various fields of food security.   Stay tuned as we unveil more details about APEX and how you can be a part of this transformative event. Together, let's harness the power of innovation and technology to secure our food future and build a better world for generations to come.   #SmartAgriBus #APEX #InnovationInAg #FoodSecurity #AgricultureTechnology #Sustainability #GlobalCollaboration #universities #IITA #ICRISAT #IAR #CDA #youthempowerment #youthinagriculture #engineering #agribusiness #agriculturalinnovation #cgiar #IFAD #IFDC #TAAT

At Farmonaut®, we firmly believe that each challenge paves the way for new opportunities, bringing people together to achieve shared success. This guiding principle has led us to embark on an exciting partnership with CXO Family, aiming to revolutionize the agricultural landscape through the deployment of groundbreaking technologies. Our goal? To take farm monitoring to the next level by integrating satellite sensing and artificial intelligence. A few days ago, Mr. Ankur Omar, Director and CEO at Farmonaut®, convened with Sam Vishwas (Founder at CXO Family), Srini Iyengar (President at Yaaman, Inc), and Shabd Vaid (CEO at Crucial Bits)—seasoned veterans who have witnessed the evolution of the technological landscape in the Bay Area since the dot-com era. They came together over lunch to strategize Farmonaut®'s ambitious foray into the American market. Starting off as a highly successful startup in India, we're now setting our sights on empowering farmers across the United States with our cutting-edge solutions. To all the farmers out there, we invite you to connect with us.

In the ever-evolving world of agriculture, curiosity and questioning the status quo are essential for growth and innovation. Today, I want to delve into a critical question that has the potential to transform our industry: "𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺?" By collaborating with diverse partners, we can leverage a wide array of expertise and resources that address various challenges faced by farmers, retailers, and the entire supply chain. Local partners bring invaluable on-the-ground insights and cultural understanding that ensure solutions are tailored to the specific needs of the community. Meanwhile, global partners contribute advanced technologies, research, and innovative practices that can be adapted to local contexts. These questions reflect my belief in the power of innovation and the importance of continuously challenging ourselves. At Univia, we are dedicated to not only asking these questions but also finding the answers that will drive the agricultural industry forward. If you too are a curious fella and challenge the normal at every, then let's question, innovate, and create a brighter future for agriculture together. #AgricultureInnovation #Curiosity #SustainableFarming #DigitalAgriculture #Univia #GrowthMindset #FutureOfFarming #GlobalPartnerships #LocalImpact
