Carbon Sync hosts successful ‘Future of Farming’ event

Written By Fleur Hull

On 19 February, 2024, Carbon Sync hosted “The Future Farm: On-Farm Innovation Showcase” as a side event to the evokeAG conference. The event was held at Bungulla Farm, Tammin, WA and co-sponsored by Wheatbelt Connect, Swarmfarm and The ZNE Ag CRC. It offered an opportunity to witness first-hand how innovative farming practices and technologies can merge to forge a sustainable and profitable agricultural future. More than 80 participants attended from across Australia and around the world.

Presentations included a showcase of Swarmfarm’s agricultural robot technology, a “fireside chat” between Bungulla Farm co-owner Brad Jones and DPIRD’s Brad Plunkett, covering the future of farming, an overview of the Wheatbelt Connect project, a presentation on the work of the Zero Net Emissions in Agriculture Cooperative Research Centre (ZNE CRC), a talk on how to monetise your farm data and an overview of market and regulatory changes and what they mean for agriculture.
