March 2026 Edition
The year has started with strong momentum, highlighted by our sponsorship of evokeAG in Melbourne. The event provided valuable insights into the latest developments in agri‑tech, innovation and sustainability, reinforcing key trends shaping the future of agribusiness.
We also recently released our latest e‑book, Automation in Agribusiness, which examines industry transformation, emerging technologies and funding considerations. It introduces our practical F.A.R.M tool, a straightforward forecasting model designed to support farmers and business owners in making informed, confident decisions around current and future project investment.
In addition, this edition explores Australia’s net zero plan for agribusiness, outlining what it means for the sector and how it can support long‑term resilience and sustainability.
Each of these topics offers practical insights to help you plan ahead and navigate change—read on to learn more.

| AUTOMATION IN AGRIBUSINESS EBOOK |
Automation is reshaping how Australian agribusinesses operate, and our latest e‑book unpacks what this shift means on the ground. It shows how, with the right tools, funding support and practical advice, producers and agribusiness operators can move from cautious interest to confident, strategic investment.
One of the key features is our F.A.R.M tool, a hands‑on model designed for real‑world use. It allows you to plug in capital costs, estimate labour and operational savings, and calculate realistic payback periods for new technology. We’ve also built in funding pathways - including R&D tax incentives, grants and investment options - to help reduce risk and make big decisions easier.
