Teams are invited to register with solutions to any of the challenge areas.

CHALLENGE
AREAS
With support from Agrifutures, an extensive industry study was conducted. This study revealed that there were four areas where enabling technology would accelerate the growth and impact on this industry: harvest, cleaning and handling; extracting more from less; traceability; and wild harvest.
Harvest, cleaning, and handling is incredibly difficult with many native plants. What can be learnt from other industries?
Some incredible bioactive compounds have been discovered in Australia’s native plants with amazing healing or nutritional properties. How can we extract these more efficiently? How do we continue to discover more?
Traceability
Consumers are increasingly seeking to understand where their food comes from. This challenges looks to leverage technology to ensure that what consumers want is what they get.
