Identifying Value Proposition for Agtech Adoption

This project explored the value of agtech and digital innovation in five industries (ginger, rice, export fodder, hemp, and jackfruit). It mapped producer needs and opportunities for technologies, that are both in-use and under-development, to examine costs and benefits for producers and the supply chain. A strategic roadmap to drive technology adoption and digital transformation was co-designed with industry input.

Addressing production challenges through the management of wine non-volatiles

Non-volatile compounds such as anthocyanins, tannins, polysaccharides, proteins, amino acides and organic acids are present in wine at high concentrations relative to other components. Adequate extraction and retention of non-volatile compounds are critical to wine quality (colour, texture). However, due to both their larger size and tendency to interact, non-volatile compounds cause problems in wine processing, like haze formation, precipitation, crystallisation and adsorption.

Translating intramuscular fat measurement technology to the sheepmeat industry

Intramuscular fat contributes positively to the juiciness and flavour of lamb and is a useful indicator of eating quality. This project will deliver a commercially applicable intramuscular probe to measure intramuscular fat in un-cut lamb carcases. This project will focus on lamb but the device will also be applicable to beef.

Effective control of Listeria on rockmelons through alternative post-harvest treatment methods

This project is determining the optimum postharvest strategies to reduce the risk of rockmelons being contaminated by listeria, a bacteria found widely in soil, water and vegetation that can cause the disease, listeriosis. Trials will evaluate the effectiveness of five common sanitisers against listeria and make best practice recommendations for growers.

Use of a purge sensor to improve performance and reduce the need for supervision of batch centrifugals

Batch centrifugals that operate like a spinning washing machine are used widely to separate raw sugar crystals from the mother molasses. This project will trial a Danish-made sensor to show when and how long to add wash water to the batch centrifugal, to purify the raw sugar crystals - a job that is usually done by a worker at the sugar mill.

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.

Consumer refrigerator data, behaviour and waste reduction for red meat

Most consumers still check if meat is still safe to eat by looking at the use by date on the packaging. This is considered to be outdated technology, and this project will gather new temperature data for all commodities that require chilled storage, and combine this with information on consumer behaviour to set new standards of food storage and information.

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.
