iugotec Founder & Director Ross Farrell will attend the GrowAg Innovation Summit: Cultivating Excellence in Agriculture for our Farming Future.
AgTech Innovation
I am excited to join the top 100 innovators and leaders in agriculture at GrowAg. The summit provides a great venue to develop new collaborations, formulate innovative ideas and an opportunity to share my vision for a new generation of sensor systems.
Advanced Sensor Systems
Opportunities for state-of-the-art chemical “fingerprinting” sensor systems in Food & Agriculture include applications such as:
- Real-time quality grading of produce .
- Monitoring of storage facilities.
- Pest detection.
- Contamination & Taint detection.
- Crop health & early disease warning systems.
Turn Data into Decisions
This new generation of sensor technologies (developed in pioneering medical & security applications) brings significant new opportunities for advanced quality control & decision support. By combining sensors with data science we can develop & deploy highly sophisticated systems that integrate and as a result optimise across the supply chain, from grower to consumer. Following the Systems Engineering mantra: If you cannot measure it, you cannot control it, if you cannot control it you cannot improve it.
The Summit
GrowAg is hosted by the Australian Government Department of Agriculture and Water Resources and the Rural Research and Development Corporations. It will bring together Australia’s sharpest and most innovative leaders in agriculture to share ideas, discuss the opportunities and challenges facing the sector and identify how tomorrow’s leaders can capitalise on the opportunities.
The Summit will advance the contribution of our farming leaders and agricultural professionals towards a dynamic, competitive and prosperous agricultural sector by:
- developing knowledge and skills for utilising adopting new technologies; innovative business and investment strategies; and developing leadership and entrepreneurial skills
- facilitating wider discussion and consideration of the opportunities, barriers and roles for farmers in agriculture; and
- providing an opportunity for sharing knowledge, a platform for innovation and an entrepreneurial environment for our future farming leaders.
In summary, we have tremendous opportunities to harness the potential of advanced sensor systems & turn data into knowledge-based actionable decisions. Collaborate & Innovate. I am excited about the future!
Ross.
