Sustaining Agriculture

We help crop growers (arable and horticulture, forage and non-food crops) respond to the dual challenges of increasing the productivity of crops while reducing the environmental impact of crop production. In practice, this helps to secure the a sustainable food chain. Our tools facilitate integrated appraisals of adaptation and mitigation options across multiple water and energy-dependent sectors.

 

The Lions share of water we use goes into agriculture and that means any water shortage that we face will affect our ability to provide that other staple of life...food. In Australia, people already know what this means. Global agriculture is hitting a natural limit. We are using almost all the land that is availale to us that is really highly productive that has great agricultural potential so we know there is not much extra land. We are using 30-40% of the entire lands surface. As there is really no more land to expand to, we need to raise productivity on the land that exists.

 

Our technology enables you to measure the impact of pesticides on your crops and the surrounding environment. The due dilligence process that we have mastered can be used to examine:

 

  • arable crops including wheat, barley, oilseed rape, potatoes and pulse crops

  • horticulture

  • grasses and forage crops

  • crops for biofuels, and other non-food uses

  • in the field or protected cultivation.

 

Observational data and data access are prerequisites for adaptive management, yet many networks fail to capture the interlinked and economic impacts of adaptive management. GeoAgronomics improves the understanding and modelling of the phenological and hydrological cycles at scales relevant to decision making, such as irrigation districts. Information about the interrelated impacts of climate change is provided – especially with respect to impact on agriculture, ecosystems and their socio-economic dimensions.
