Australia’s food sector is not prepared for a digital future and is already being left behind. We need Food Agility as the catalyst for a more competitive industry.
Mick Keogh, Executive Director - Australian Farm Institute
Food Agility offers the opportunity for industry to cooperate and support one another, share resources, network effectively, apply the right technology and align for a common purpose, so we will all share the future of Australian food.
Dr Mirjana Prica, Managing Director - Food Innovation Australia Ltd.
(Industry Growth Centre)
Government has one of the biggest agriculture and food production data lakes and will directly benefit from digital insights. Digital solutions enabling smart regulation will be a competitive advantage for Australia.
