AgTech solutions for future farming
Our Symposium aims to explore the latest advancements and breakthroughs in agricultural technology (AgTech) and how they can pave the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and prosperous way we grow food.
With a growing population, food scarcity and environmental concerns paramount, our agricultural and food systems face unprecedented challenges. However, within these challenges lie opportunities for transformative change driven by technology.
From genetic technologies and data analytics to people engineering AgTech and robotics, the Symposium will delve into the cutting-edge solutions revolutionising the way we grow, harvest, and distribute food. Australia’s leading food and agricultural experts, researchers, and industry leaders will share their insights, experiences, and visions for leveraging AgTech to address pressing issues such as food security, agricultural emissions, climate change resilience, resource conservation, and rural development.
The dynamic event will feature:
- Keynote speeches from Australia’s leading food and agricultural experts, researchers, and industry leaders
- Interactive panel discussions and Australian AgriTech displays
- Networking opportunities for attendees to gain valuable knowledge, forge meaningful connections, and brainstorm actionable strategies to propel the AgTech revolution forward.
- Exposure to Australia’s exciting AgTech innovations
Whether you're a farmer, scientist, entrepreneur, policymaker, or simply passionate about shaping the future of agriculture, this Symposium offers a unique opportunity to exchange ideas, and collaborate towards building a more sustainable and equitable food system.
The Symposium on 2 April 2025 will be followed by a Smart Farm visit on 3 April 2025, offering attendees the opportunity to visit
university facilities and engage in additional networking opportunities.
The Symposium will take place simultaneously across two Australian Universities at the forefront of agricultural
innovation, the University of New England, Armidale & Western Sydney University, Parramatta.
