Analysing the role of new technology in on-farm decision making

The purpose of these case studies is to provide an insight into how growers have utilised data-analytics to inform in their decision making process.

Growers lack the time, tools and skills to process, visualise and use different sources of data in an efficient manner. However, the Hub-funded ‘AgTech Decoded: Growers critically analysing the role of new technology in on farm decision making’ project has allowed local growers to better understand digital technologies and how they can be used for a research and development purpose.

About the project

However, these technologies often have limitations and farmers often lack the time, tools and skills to process data from multiple different sources to effectively utilise them.

This project was designed to assist growers to better understand the opportunities presented by the latest digital technologies and how they can address farming system challenges and improve in-season decision making when faced with a variable climate.

This project was funded by the Australian Government’s Agricultural Innovation Hubs Program and was initiated through the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub.
