Carrie-Ann Wilson, Knowledge Adoption Officer at the TNQ Drought Hub, recently participated in AgSmart Connect, held in Tamworth earlier this month. The event provided a platform for Carrie to engage and network with various AgTech providers and enablers, including several new providers interested in collaborating with the hub. Panel discussions delved into the role of AgTech advisors in addressing producers’ challenges, emphasizing the importance of customized, non-biased advice, and highlighting ROI as a key driver for AgTech adoption among producers.

Reflecting on her experience, Carrie expressed enthusiasm, stating, “It was a fantastic experience. I engaged with lots of AgTech innovators, strengthening connections and exploring new avenues to improve drought resilience. The great conversations about emerging technologies, agriculture and AgTech adoption uncovered promising opportunities for future collaborations for the TNQ Drought Hub.”
