Project B Green

This project seeks to prove the science and economics of a proposed biorefinery in the Burdekin sugarcane region of Australia, that would convert sugarcane juice to glycols and biomass to energy (syngas and hydrogen). Global research into biorefineries has escalated in recent years, as businesses transition to renewable and sustainable feedstocks and reduce reliance on petrochemicals.

Updating Shipping Route Data for the Heat Stress Risk Assessment (HSRA) Model

The current heat stress risk assessment (HSRA) model used when transporting livestock in ships relies on historical weather data for routes to port, but climatic conditions may vary. This project will deliver an updated data set of climatic conditions and variability on sailing routes to 63 ports, that will be fed into the HSRA model as it undergoes an upgrade.

Measuring Emissions Intensity at Dairy Farm and Industry Scale

This project aims to provide farmers with an accurate method to measure on-farm greenhouse gas emissions intensity (EI) and to research ways to reduce it across the Australian dairy industry. The industry is committed to reducing EI of milk production by 30% by 2030.

Pressurised CO2 technology (Farther Farms) and its ability to reduce reliance on a chilled Supply chain literature review

This project funds a literature review of Farther Farms, Inc and its pressurised CO2 technology that claims to support the storage and distribution of fresh foods without needing refrigeration. If proven, this technology has the benefit to add value across multiple channels and markets in Australia and globally, responding to the growth in online food delivery, meal kit programs and the importance of reducing food waste.

Updated Marginal Abatement Cost Curve

Marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves are a commonly used policy tool that indicate the potential for Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission abatement and associated costs. This project's objective is to provide a robust decision-making framework through an updated MAC to inform scaled adoption of GHG emissions reduction solutions on dairy farms.

Drought resilience

The aim of this project is to develop management strategies that irrigated, rain-dependent vineyards can apply during a drought to minimise the loss of yield and grape quality. This involves better understanding of vine and cover crop water use.

Grazing Intelligence

This project aims to help producers make better grazing decisions . Food Agility, together with the NSW Department of Primary Industries and agtech company Pasture.io, will deliver machine learning models that remotely predicts animal performance and daily pasture availability. These ‘Grazing Intelligence’ models will improve the confidence of producers in making grazing and livestock value-adding decisions. They will provide clear animal performance recommendations and projections through the Pasture.io software.

North-East Victoria vineyard smoke sensor network

This project aims to deliver an early warning network of smoke sensors that assesses vineyard exposure to smoke in North-East Victoria, one of the most bushfire-prone wine regions in Australia. The network of 100 sensor stations will record, analyse and report the exposure of wine grapes to individual smoke events and accumulated seasonal smoke exposure. An electronic dashboard will provide information back to producers and inform critical business decisions such as grape testing, vineyard management, and winemaking strategies to manage smoke effects. The network has the potential to be deployed nationally and exported.

Whole of beef supply chain waste mapping and interventions

This project involves actively measuring waste along the beef supply chain in Australia and implementing strategies to reduce it, in a similar way to the UK's Waste & Resources Action Plan (WRAP), which saved the pork value chain $800,000. As well as increasing trust and collaboration amongst supply chain partners, it's envisaged the project will find new sources of revenue and inform the High Value Food Program on alternative waste streams which may be transformed.
