AgValuate is a cutting-edge innovation readiness assessment tool, purpose-built for farmers, producers, and land managers.
Developed in collaboration with the agricultural community, it offers a tailored approach to evaluating your business strategies and identifying where your farm sits on the innovation journey.
Whether you are just beginning to explore digital technologies or looking to enhance existing practices, AgValuate provides insights that matter to your operation.
We are developing educational materials to help support Australian producers, farmers and land managers understand the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework.
ESG is a framework that can help producers to address sustainability issues, enhance sustainability performance, increase resilience, reduce risks and create opportunities.
It is no longer a niche concept. ESG standards are now essential for promoting sustainability in agriculture and creating long-term value in agricultural production.
Six of the Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hubs collaborated on a ‘Managing Rangelands for Drought Resilience’ project which established demonstration sites across Australia to showcase technologies and techniques that use mapping to improve rangeland management.Â
Working with landholders, Southern Gulf NRM, MaxusAI and James Cook University, the TNQ Drought Hub project aimed to develop and test an approach to rapidly quantify the amount and distribution of Mitchell grass tussocks across a range of grazing land types in north-west Queensland, using high-resolution drone imagery and artificial intelligence.
