Robotics-ready AI in Viticulture

Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre (Food Agility CRC)

The Yield, Yamaha, UTS, Food Agility and Treasury Wine Estates have partnered to explore the opportunities presented by combining robotics, micro-climate weather services and artificial intelligence (AI) for wine grape production. This project will test the ability for field robots to observe vine growth and vine health to feed into...

Identifying Value Proposition for Agtech Adoption

Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre (Food Agility CRC)

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...

Pig Welfare and Pork Provenance

Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre (Food Agility CRC)

This project will develop a system where information from tags on individual pigs can be used to quickly identify and respond to animal health issues in commercial piggeries, and create a digital record to share information through the supply chain.

Framework for Sustainability Reporting

Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre (Food Agility CRC)

This project is seeking to create credible and tangible Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) systems for the entire agribusiness value chain. These systems will account for emissions reductions resulting from an intervention that would not have otherwise occurred. This strong, standardised, and verifiable MRV system will enhance financial products, assist...

Improving viticulture and oenology practice through extension and communication

Wine Australia

The Australian wine sector operates in a dynamic and competitive environment, both domestically and overseas. It is critical that stakeholders have up-to-date information to ensure that their contributions to the sector reflect best practices and their businesses are sustainable, efficient and competitive. This project will: - Liaise with stakeholders (including...

Volatile compound insights: Flavour attributes of current and future commercial significance to growers and winemakers

Wine Australia

Understanding the formation and fate of key volatile compounds is a core capability that requires continuation in our sector, as these compounds provide researchers and producers with quality targets for improvements in vineyard and winemaking practices. Volatiles contribute specific varietal and regional characters and contribute greatly to the overall in-mouth...

Genetic diversity of Australian wine grapevine germplasm

Wine Australia

Grapevine planting material represents a major investment and critical production asset for the Australian wine industry, but the genetic diversity that is present in Australia is poorly understood. Furthermore, while grapevine cultivars can be unequivocally typed by ampelography and/or genetic tests, clonal identification solely relies on the tracing of supply...

Fermentation management through optimal microbial consortia

Wine Australia

An ideal fermentation for wine is short, typically lasting no longer than a week. When fermentations become protracted, the delays can have a direct effect on the scheduling of winery operations. Worst-case scenarios may see residual sugar concentrations failing to meet production specifications, resulting in time-consuming and potentially expensive remediation...

Addressing production challenges through the management of wine non-volatiles

Wine Australia

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...
