A new collaboration between Food Agility CRC, NGIS, Farmanco, Curtin University’s Centre for Crop and Disease Management (CCDM), and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development will develop a scientifically rigorous decision support tool to help farmers and their advisors increase profitability and optimise risk management.
