Welcome to the future of agriculture, where everything is data-driven. Traditionally, farmers use a gut-feel to make decisions, but in the future, not any more. By using multiple data sets and computational techniques to extract insights, decision making just got a whole lot easier.
The Analytics for the Australian Grains Industry (AAGI) was recently launched in August, and in this special edition of the Crop Disease Podcast, join Megan Jones as she talks to the new AAGI Director, Nathan O’Callaghan on this new initiative.
CCDM Director Mark Gibberd and CCDM Development Manager for Research Innovation Julia Easton also join the show and give insights into how AAGI will give Australian growers an opportunity to be world leaders in analytics-driven decision making.
An example of an AAGI project will be discussed with AAGI data analyst Jordan Brown, who is currently working on a project with grower groups to make legume crops a viable break crop option for their systems.
AAGI is a co-investment between GRDC, Curtin University, University of Queensland, and University of Adelaide. For more information on AAGI, click here.
