SUMMARY:Enhancing productivity of Australian food and agriculture through value-added processing
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s agricultural industries have remained internationally through continuous innovation resulting from joint industry- and government-funding as well as the willingness of Australian farmers to adopt new innovations. However\, Australia’s agricultural and food sectors increasingly face declining rates of profitability growth\, rising costs\, volatile markets\, and vulnerable supply chains. Diversifying revenue streams through value-added processing is a business imperative\, and a matter of national economic security. \nGlobal demand for sustainable\, high-value food\, materials and energy creates a unique opportunity. By leveraging our strengths\, Australia has the potential to generate economic\, environmental and social benefits positioning us at the forefront of the global bioeconomy. \nIn the third webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, we will hear from experts on how we can support the innovation system across the agricultural and food sectors to increase productivity\, profitability\, and sustainability.

SUMMARY:CSIRO - Advancing Farm Productivity\, Program of Research\, Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Seminar One: Soil Organic Carbon: Composition\, Drivers\, and Pathways to Resilient Production Systems\nHosted by the Advanced Farm Productivity Program of Research within CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food Research Unit\, this series explores how research and innovation can support the long-term productivity and profitability of Australian agriculture. \nAbout the presenter\nSenani Karunaratne is a principal research scientist with CSIRO Agriculture and Food. His work focuses on understanding how land management and environmental drivers affect soil organic carbon\, with an emphasis on characterising functionally distinct carbon fractions\, integrating these into process-based models\, and developing data-driven surrogate models for space-time upscaling using freely available datasets\, including Earth observation data. Senani and his team lead the first national-scale monitoring network dedicated to soil carbon\, established through the recently completed SOC-M project (2021-2026). Their modelling work is incorporated into Australia’s National Inventory\, the official account for land sector reporting under Australia’s obligations to the UNFCCC and was part of the co-design of the soil carbon farming methodology developed by the Australian Government. Senani is also currently serving as an IPCC lead author\, a technical advisor for the Australian Government National Inventory within the Department of Climate Change\, Energy and the Environment and Clean Energy Regulator.

SUMMARY:Australia's food security in a regional context
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s food security is under growing strategic scrutiny\, yet significant gaps remain in understanding its true nature\, scale\, and the policy options available to address it.\nThis hybrid workshop\, convened by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE) Agriculture and Food Forum\, and ACT Division\, with support from CSIRO\, the Crawford Fund and ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research) brings together researchers\, policymakers\, industry and young professionals to examine three critical questions: \n\nDoes Australia have a food security problem\, and what is its nature?\nWhat are Australia’s aspirations and role in Australian and regional food security?\nAnd what politically feasible policy levers exist to address food insecurity?\n\nThe workshop will take place over two half-days\, with the first day focused on setting the scene and defining the key challenges\, followed by a second day dedicated to exploring practical solutions and developing actionable outcomes.

SUMMARY:GRDC NGN Agricultural Connectivity Out-of-the-Box
DESCRIPTION:Growers across all three GRDC regions report operating in “digital darkness”\, limiting their ability to use telematics\, automation\, and data-driven tools. More than half of growers surveyed by Grain Producers Australia cited connectivity and digital literacy gaps as core reasons for delaying investment in digital technology and automation. \nThe NGN Grains Adopt Online Workshop is a free\, two-session webinar delivered by Connected Farms as part of the GRDC NGN funded Agriculture Connectivity Out-of-the-Box program — providing practical\, independent guidance to help growers and agronomists get connected. \n\nSession 1 — Understanding Connectivity (50 min) What connectivity means for grain farming\, what technology options exist\, and how to assess your situation.\nSession 2 — Choosing & Implementing the Right Solution (50 min) How to select\, deploy\, and integrate the right connectivity solution for your farm and machinery systems.\n\nAttendees will gain the capability and confidence to implement fit-for-purpose connectivity solutions\, improve digital tool reliability\, and support progress towards automation. Agronomists can become endorsed connectivity advisors.
