Government has one of the biggest agriculture and food production data lakes and will directly benefit from digital insights. Digital solutions enabling smart regulation will be a competitive advantage for Australia.

Ben van Delden, AgTech Sector Leader - KPMG

Food Agility offers the opportunity for industry to cooperate and support one another, share resources, network effectively, apply the right technology and align for a common purpose, so we will all share the future of Australian food.

Dr Mirjana Prica, Managing Director - Food Innovation Australia Ltd.

(Industry Growth Centre)

Australia’s food sector is not prepared for a digital future and is already being left behind. We need Food Agility as the catalyst for a more competitive industry.

Mick Keogh, Executive Director - Australian Farm Institute
