If you’re interested in AgTech in Australia and the various ways in which it can increase efficiency and profitability of Australian farming or for your own agricultural business, then Queensland will be the place to be in November.

No less than 10 AgTech focused events will be held throughout the State during the month, which is why a group of AgTech innovators and service providers have joined forces to name November as Queensland Ag Tech Month.

Speakers in the webinar will include Queensland Minister for Agriculture Mark Furner, host James Walker from Agrihive,  Bruce McConnell, TSBE and Jacqui Wilson-Smith from Food and Agribusiness Network.
